Description

A beautiful young French woman finds and loses love in Fiji, a blood feud erupts in an island village, coastal erosion exposes the gruesome remnants of an inter-tribal massacre.
These and other stories range across the islands of the South Pacific. Where relationships ebb and flow like the tides that wash around them. Settings are as varied as an atoll village, a university campus and a prison cell.
And throughout the stories, the Pacific Ocean is an abiding presence.
Distilled from half a century of short story writing, Graeme Lay presents a series of memorable portraits of the characters who live either inside or outside the reef.
