Product Description

Review
There are plenty of characteristic Collinsian mysteries. . . . [F]or anyone who enjoys Collins's mature work, it is intriguing to see how many of his later preoccupations appear in Iolani.

Product Description
This is Wilkie Collins's earliest novel, written 150 years ago in the 1840s. It is a tale of terror and suspense, bravery and betrayal, set against the lush backdrop of Tahiti, telling the story of the diabolical high priest, Iolani and the heroic young woman, Idia, who bears his child.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting first novel that was not published before, 28 Mar 2001
Very interesting first novel by Wilkie Collins. It shows how he wrote when he started. Wilkie Collins wrote the book when he was still working at a tea merchant and before the biography of his father. Travel books to strange places were very popular at that time. Wilkie probably got his information on Tahiti from a book that was published shortly before that time. The story is not as good as most of his later novels. The introduction by Ira Nadel is very good. She gives a nice introdution to Wilkie Collins and how he was living and working in that period. The introduction by itself could be a good reason to buy this book.
