Review title: A splendid book!
Product review: This book is an intriguing story that combines history, mystery, and a grand tour of the tropical paradise (?) known as Easter Island. Through the use of dual time periods, the author takes the reader through the early days of "civilized" exploration of the island (just prior to World War I), and on to the early 1970's, using the experiences of a scientist sent to study the ancient pollen present on the island in an attempt to understand its current botanical topography.Well-researched and equally well-written, the author weaves together both sets of characters from the different eras to solve multiple mysteries involving the people native to the island, the British explorers, and the topography of the island, itself. I found this novel to be entertaining, informative, and, surprisingly, fun to read. Don't miss it.
