Kaleidoscopic. Extraordinary. A frightening ride to the bottom of
the soul of a man with a previously unexamined life. This is
contemporary Hawaii as it's rarely evoked, with surfing strangely
near its troubled heart
*William Finnegan, author of “Barbarian Days”, winner of the
Pulitzer Prize*
Theroux's new novel is a full-fat epic
*The Observer*
Superb... Under the Wave at Waimea immerses you so elaborately in
its watery world that you may start seeing surfing as just another
guise for life itself... This probing tale of a man who's come
undone and the strong, stark woman who thinks she can reassemble
him is one of Theroux's best novels
*The Seattle Times*
