Reviews

Pretty much perfect. It's a novel about a Margaret Mead-like character in New Guinea in the 30s, and it's so smart and rich and alive.
This dazzling novel bites like a tropical insect, and makes anthropology seem more exciting than any other profession
A brilliant reimagining of Mead's pioneering exploits . . . the artfulness of her characterisation is so adept that her prose has the force of truth.
Jaw-droppingly, heart-stoppingly beautiful
