Title: Rather disappointing
Product review: The author's first-hand knowledge of Papua New Guinea sustains this novel through roughly its first 50 pages, but sad to say, the remainder of the book is dragged to a slow death by its dreary narrative and truly unappealing characters (June Campbell in particular). A real disappointment given the intermittent flirtation with such significant themes as mortality and cultural warfare.
