This is a lovely little book that plays with the heart the strings and presents it's self as a faux fable, for there are no moral lessons. The novels follows the lives of a handful of unique characters that range from an island girl who saves injured animals, a drunk sea captain, a want-to-be cannibal, two bumbling pirates, a drug addicted shark god, and a faithful and determined loggerhead sea turtle. If you are wanting a fast and fun read with a truely original storyline where everyone is equally good and bad, then this is the book for you! ( ) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
"The island of East Pukapuka lies in the path of a tsunami that will kill everyone but Butter, a little girl more worried about the lives of the injured animals she cares for than her own. Butter is rescued by a Loggerhead sea turtle who carries her away on his back. As she and her exhausted savior begin to sink, the girl is plucked out of the sea by Jesus Dobby, the boozy owner of a salvage boat who is thrilled, at first, to have found a genuine "turtle-girl" hybrid. Downhill racer Dante Wheeler "dies" in a terrible skiing accident and revives in a twilight state, having lost all memories of his former life. When he heals enough to leave the rehab facility, Dante heads to Polynesia, where he has found a home in his dreams. There he encounters Ophelia, a beautiful blond policewoman who reluctantly agrees to transport him to East Pukapuka. Jope and Ratu, a pair of bumbling pirates, steal a vessel laden with cocaine. They are hotly pursued by the drug-runners' hit man Albino Paul, the descendant of cannibals, whose goal is to reclaim his heritage."--Publisher's website. No library descriptions found. |
