The lead character of this story is leading a most unusual life. It is the details of this life that Ash brings forward in such startling clarity. Elise considers herself to be a scientist, always watching, observing the life and customs of the islands she inhabits and that, in turn, inhabit her. She studies, to the deteriment of herself. A combination of time, chance meetings and a gift are about to unravel her life as is.#Elise is an intriguing character and Ash writes her, the islands and the tiny details with such clarity that you can almost feel the heat and humidity of the islands. A great read!
