It was a little hard to get into it, but once I did it was so interesting! It tells the story of a young man coming to terms with the differences between his native culture and Christianity. I like the way this character was portrayed and seeing him mature and become an individual, his own person not controlled by others desires and rules. All of us make this journey to find who we are and who we are supposed to be. Check it out, I think you will agree it's a great book. (  ) angelswing | Aug 23, 2013 |  This review was written for LibraryThing Member Giveaways. This is a great book. I had a hard time getting into it. But once I did I couldn't put it down. The characters are great and the depth of the story was great. I am going to pass the book on for my friends to read. (  ) tricia35 | Aug 5, 2013 | This review was written for LibraryThing Member Giveaways. The story was clear and concise. It didn't really grab my attention, but it wasn't bad. On an editing note, throughout the book, there were a number of commas missing. (  ) eheinlen | Jun 7, 2013 | This review was written for LibraryThing Member Giveaways. I'm not quite sure why this book took me so long to read. Maybe because I had such a different view of what "In Pursuit..." was going to be. To be honest, "In Pursuit..." is a real, true story. I know we all throw that word around quite liberally, but for the first time, in a long time, I actual read the story, and really enjoyed the depth of the characters, Oliana and Jonathan. Their love story seems troubled, and the external strife with Jonathan's work seems fabricated, but trust me, this is one true story, you will get into.

The globalization of the cultures and religions of India and the United States, combined with the spirituality of Hawaii, creates a universally enriching experience in the moving novel In pursuit of love, spirituality and happiness. Jonathan, a handsome young American man born in a very rich, powerful, political, glamorous and conglomerate family who was tormented by his father’s corrupt nature and ethical quandary in business had to choose between his quests of love for Oliana, a full-blooded Hawaiian beauty who evokes all the images that he‘s constructed about ancient Hawaii and whose sculptured face etched forever in his memory, and his loyalty to his parents. The choice that took him across and beyond, the choice that made him to do ultimate sacrifice, brought him the happiness in his life. The story conveys the message in the light of current events that even though he had plenty of money, status in the society he was never happy; happiness came to him through true love, sacrifice and his ethical conviction and spiritualism. The novel captures the essence of true love between two people, their conflicts and astonishing & amazing romances and the relentless pull of day to day problem living in a corrupt situation and facing the reality. Jonathan from USA and Oliana from Hawaii came from very opposite backgrounds but they seek deeper meaning of life and happiness through love and spiritualism as their basic fulfillment.
