β¦ Synopsis
Nestled in the warmth of the Caribbean, the island of Saint Roger is in many ways idyllic and consequently a popular destination for touristsβ¦
Until one day, disaster strikes.
With their home all but destroyed, the islanders must re-build their prosperity, but just a few years after the end of the Second World War, that is more easily said than done.
Ingenuity and leadership is called for. And an ingenious plan is duly hatched.
A plan that is both ingenious and perhaps, morally questionable. As the Prefect of Saint Roger heads to France to bring the plan to fruition, he makes sure that the local priest has been kept in the darkβ¦
In time, the worldβs attention turns towards Saint Roger and towards a young woman called Gabrielle....
βMr Tickell has a light touch and a delicate feeling for emotional relationships.β - The Times Literary Supplement
