The Girl in the Moon Circle, like the cover drawing, shows Samoan life through the eyes of a 10-year-old girl called Samoana. Samoana is perceptive, not much escapes her analysis. She tells us about school, church, friends, family violence, having refrigerators and television for the first time, Chunky cat food, a Made-in-Taiwan, Jesus, pay day, cricket, crushes on boys, incest, legends and many other things. Her observations offer a compelling look at Samoan society.
