Armine von Tempski is one of Hawaii’s foremost novelists of the 20th century, most often known for her autobiography, BORN IN PARADISE that was written just before THUNDER IN HEAVEN.   She was born and raised on the Haleakala Ranch on Maui and possessed a great understanding of the people and places that she chose to create stories around.
“Although published during wartime, THUNDER IN HEAVEN contains nothing of the war.”
Set on the Kona Coast of the Big Island, it deals with the devastation of flesh and soul brought on by the infamous disease leprosy.
It is a novel of man’s humanity to man, of love, sacrifice, and devotion.”
- Duell, Sloan and Pearce.
Published just prior to the onset of World War II, likely world events influenced the number printed during the 1940s. Those are now seldom available but it is once again in print and available by the Ox Bow Press.
”Hawaiians believe if a person tries to do something and the world gives him no recognition, the gods salute him with—Thunder in Heaven!”
