Publisher's Synopsis
The novel explores the themes of domination of one person over the others, the differences between races, the emancipation of women, and the strength of the human spirit, strengthened in a struggle with nature and society.
Follows the adventures of a plantation owner in the Solomon Islands. Be warned, quite a bit of racism, and it doesn't seem to have any underlying message about that being a bad thing. One of those books that is a product of its time.
