Description
A remote South Pacific island paradise is home to an elderly tribesman who is struggling to translate Hamlet into local Pidgin English. His efforts are soon disrupted by the arrival of a young American lawyer, William Hardt, who has come to help. As their paths converge, the islanders' unique culture and way of life challenge both Hardt's and the reader's values and perceptions of love, life, and death. This exuberant and original novel is a thought-provoking exploration of the human condition, full of moments of both sadness and farce.
