Now that Materena is a big star with her radio talk show, Pito can't help noticing some changes in his wife. She's spending more and more time at work and with her girlfriends instead of coming home to cook for him. And why does a Tahitian woman need to know how to drive, anyway? He tries to shrug it off, but when Materena gives him the silent treatment and doesn't come home after a night of dancing, Pito has had enough! How is he supposed to fix things with Materena when she doesn't even give him a chance? Luckily for Pito, his opportunity comes when a threemonth-old girl named Tiare -- rumored to be their son Tomatoa's daughter -- is left on the Mahis' doorstep. Anxious to pull his weight and set things right, Pito embarks on a hilarious and noble mission to prove himself to his granddaughter, his wife, and -- most importantly -- himself. Tiare in Bloom is the heartwarming story of a couple facing big changes on a small island -- and a love that outlasts it all.

The hilarious and heartwarming new novel by the fabulously entertaining Cilestine Hitiura Vaite The word on the coconut radio, so Cousin Mori reports, is that the family is calling Pito Tehana a big ziro. His lovely wife Materena is now a big success, the number-one radio star in Tahiti, and she hasn t even turned into a show-off. But Pito? He won t even take her to a restaurant to celebrate her success. He just smirks and says, Eh bien, I congratulate my wife in my own way. Well, nobody is surprised to see Materena run off with a rich boyfriend, especially after Pito says something, when he s a bit drunk and not thinking, that hurts her so deeply she can t breathe. In the keenly awaited third instalment of the Materena story, TIARE the husband who didn t deserve his wife and everything that happened next, we see the Mahi and Tehana clans of Tahiti from the male perspective. And we find out that, even if he will be lucky to get it, a man can still do an awful lot with a second chance.
