I loved this! Set 150 years ago, it's the story of a man who allowed others to recommend the perfect wife for the arduous life they were destined to share in the south Pacific islands. Not a great idea as it turned out. Told unusually in the first person, and beautifully written, this is an easy read for one evening, and full of atmosphere and fascinating detail.
