Should this book stay on the list?

I thought this book was a good fit for the challenge. I thought that the book contained quite a bit of description about the setting. I could imagine the characters going about their lives in Hawaii, a place I have never been to. And then more importantly for the challenge, I think that the setting of this book was a crucial part of the story. This story would not have be able to be set anywhere else, the attack on Pearl Harbor and everything that followed because of that, are so specific to this location.

I loved the historic Hawaii setting.  Of all the historical fiction I’ve read from WWII, this was the first one set in Hawaii following the attack on Pearl Harbor.  I liked learning about what life was like for the locals during the war and reading descriptions of Oahu from a local’s perspective.
