DJ with beautiful idyllic wrap-around tropical art work done by Biro, some wear to top edges, now in archival mylar. Previous owners inscription. Otherwise well-preserved with pages clean and tight. Overall a very good copy.This novel is a brilliantly successful evocation of the atmosphere and the problems of life on a West Indian island. It is a dramatic story, packed with incident and thrilling in this mounting tension. It weaves into the fortunes of a small group of islanders the ambitions and jealousies, the hopes and fears, the complexes and inhibitions of a people to whom the tint of the skin is more important than wealth, or power, or skill, whose tangled history has bequeathed a heritage of passion in an island where the blood never cools.

Sometimes fairy tales can come true even for plain, shy spinsters like Missy Wright. Neither as pretty as cousin Alicia nor as domineering as mother Drusilla, she seems doomed to a quiet life of near poverty at Missalonghi, her family's pitifully small homestead in Australia's Blue Mountains. But it's a brand new century a time for new thoughts and bold new actions. And Missy Wright is about to set every self-righteous tongue in the town wagging. Because she has just set her sights on a mysterious, mistrusted, and unsuspecting stranger who just might be Prince Charming in disguise. Set in the Blue Mountains.
