Title: Too much Boston. Not enough St John.
Product review: This book was originally a great idea -- two continental Americans head for the sandy island beaches of paradise. It's unfortunate we have to spend the first half of the book in Boston worrying about money, septic tanks and cockroaches. What I hoped would be a Carribean version of the more jounalistic FOUR SEASONS NORTH (Billie Wright's wonderful book describing her first year living in Alaska) was more like a letter home. I hope the author tries a second book, and I hope it starts with the crunching of their shoes in Carribean sand. I also hope she learns to show us the story rather than tell it.
