| Description: | Select Guide Rating Based on a true story, we are gifted with a vision of the beauty of the Solomon Islands and the environmental debt it is owed by the world after decades of overfishing, logging and rising sea levels. At heart, this is a crucial and important novel on climate change, culture and human relations. Jack and Toni, childhood schoolmates living in the Solomon Islands, set out on a routine boat trip to a neighboring island. Things go awry when they discover, due to an oversight by Toni, that they do not have enough fuel to make the journey and are stranded at sea. Optimistic at first that they will soon be rescued, they slowly begin to realize, as the first day draws to an end, that they are in serious jeopardy with no end but their own demise in sight. |
