I have read this book twice now and on both occasions it had me gripped until the end. The book tells the story of Dr Kit Masters, a young doctor with a desire to cure polio, who gets the opportunity to practice in paradise; a beautiful South Seas island. The book is set during the First World War and the atomic bomb testing in Bikini island and tells the tale of the doctor's integration into the island community and his attempts to protect the island from disease and the effects of the war. It also tells the story of his love affair with the island's princess. The best thing about this book is that it is one of the few novels that makes you feel you are really there. The descriptions are vivid and exciting without being overly detailed and the plot is fast moving. This is the perfect 'holiday book' - make sure you have lots of free time on your hands before picking it up as you're going to be very unsociable until you've finished it!
