Book Reviews of Tales of the South Pacific
Book Review: Tales of Heartbreak & Choices at War
Summary: 5 Stars
A stunning, descriptive book with tales of highs and lows, extremes and questions by normal characters in abnormal wartime situations. A book once started not to be put down.James A. Michener's' first novel of 18 short stories loosely strung together exploiting his wartime experiences in the Pacific theatre brought him a well deserved Pulitzer Prize. 12 years later the book was adapted into the Rodgers & Hammerstien musical "South Pacific".
