The Colony

The Colony, by John Tayman, is about the Hawaiian leprosy patients (and many non-leprosy victims) who were routinely exiled to Molokai for over a century, starting back in 1866. I really enjoyed this book's historical aspect.

I love biographies and this was like a whole bunch of biographies crammed into one book. What they suffered through was terrible and I'm glad their stories have now been told.

My main complaint about this book is that it wasn't written completely chronologically, instead jumping back and forth a lot which really confused me. I get confused easily.
