Book Reviews of Victory: An Island Tale

Book Review: Interesting, imaginative; capturing tradgedy
Summary: 4 Stars

As an abridged version, the pace of events seems quite fast and disconnected at the start, with some characters appearing and disappearing. However, this is necessary to set the scene for a strange situation to arise and come to its conclusion. Perhaps Pride and Prejudice would have been a suitable title instead! Excellent use of language, building of characters and situations. This shows life in the tropics in quite a different light.
