- Samoa Oceania Pacific Islands Violence Children Teenagers Abuse Samoana Friendship Family Community
The Girl in the Moon Circle, like the cover drawing, shows Samoan life through the eyes of a ten-year-old girl called Samoana. Though young, 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. Often fiction allows authors to tell truths that otherwise would be too painful; Sia Figiel is uninhibited. Her prose, in English and Samoan, hurtles readers toward the end of the book. Sia Figiel, herself, has mesmerized audiences around the Pacific Islands with readings from The Girl in the Moon Circle.

OPINIE i DYSKUSJE
Born in 1967 in Matautu Tai, Upolu, Sia Figiel has pursuit her later education in New Zealand and in the United States of America. Her artistic expression through writing and painting has been highly recognised and awarded what enabled her to become a full time author (Benson & Conolly). In her second publication The Girl in The Moon Circle (1996) published soon after her first volume, the main protagonist Samoana Pili, also known as “Ana”, age of ten, lives in the fictional village of Malaefou and tells the story of the aggression and sexual abuse from adults that they experience. Samoan society is characterised by the tendency of collective approach in ways of narrative expression which favourites groups over individuals (Henderson 323). Samoan teenagers are encouraged to communicate as a part of this community even though the violations experienced by young people are their personal tragedy they suffer from alone. Therefore, as noticed by Wendy E. Cowling (29) “men are not always particularly estimable, while women have to be strong, and strong-willed, or they would not survive emotionally.” Sia Figiel raises these complexities by Samoana, who thinks of love as of the concept strictly related to being a member of the group with responsibilities towards its members:
And I felt sad for her because she was not living. But rather existing. And a sad existence at that because I didn’t feel like she did anything with love. Alofa. The virtue that makes you forget about you and you think of others first. (12).
Through the collection of Samoana’s memories which refer to incest, domestic violence, rape, alcoholism, and abuse, we learn the power of strength between the sisters and the sentimental affection she has towards her father. We see how attached she is too her culture, represented by Faga, the grandmother. The experience of brutality and Tufa’s miscarriage teach her to become stronger and resilient.
