Settlers Mr and Mrs Peacock and their growing family have been the only inhabitants of their small Polynesian island for over 2 years when the windjammer Esperanza arrives.
I like the way that chapters are narrated in the voices of Lizzie Peacock and the more stilted voice of the missionary taught native, Kalala.
The book cover is beautiful and exotic and very appropriate for the setting of the book.
