I came across this author the other day when reading about her uncle, the famous Samoan writer Albert Wendt, & I thought some people might be interested in the tagged book (which I haven't read), described as “the first Zombie apocalypse story set in Samoa“.

ETA: I don't know the author: I just thought the book checked a few boxes for F&L & Halloween reads
pickI read this for #FoodandLit #Samoa @texreader @catsandbooks
It's a novelization of Robert Lewis Stevenson's life. I didn't really get a feel of Samoa from it, but I did enjoy the relationship between RLS and Fanny. They both were ill at certain times in their lives and the ways they took care of each other were touching.
Anyone read any really good Samoa books?
Well, Samoans don‘t sound very nice at all. The author doesn‘t have much nice to say about Tongans (from Tonga) or New Zealanders for that matter. #Samoa #foodandlit @Catsandbooks
Some rather alarming foot sole shapes in this epic poem that I've just picked up again.

Still reading tagged book.
For lunch today, I made Samoan baked fish from https://www.pacificislandfoodrevolution.com/recipes/nina--iggys-island-baked-fis... and Faalifu Fa‘i (green plantain in coconut cream sauce) from https://thekokosamoa.com.au/blogs/recipes/faalifu-fa-i-recipe-history-tips-servi...
Very nice!

Cooking on the slope of a volcano on Savo Island in the Soloman Islands. The eggs they refer to are megapode eggs.
The author hasn‘t made it to #Samoa yet, but this was very interesting food. #foodandlit @Catsandbooks
The TV is finally off, and the cat has finally settled down. It‘s time to sneak in a few quiet hours of reading while I wait for the kids to get home.
