A good book

Patronising, mysogonistic and quite a bit racist.

I have read several of Noel Barber's books and loved them, but that was a long time ago.

Written in the mid 1980s this book had aged horribly.

The story of a doctor who moves to a Polynesian island in the wake of a scandal should be an enjoyable romp but instead is a cringe worthy nightmare.

The descriptions of non Caucasian characters are very caricatured. The woman have barely formed personalities and are mostly simpering drips. The men preen and strut. The sex scenes are woeful. And if I have to read about the main character going 'I cried' I'm going to yeet this piece of rubbish out the window.
