Passion, adventure, struggle for survival and love for life -- on a remote island. Tremendous novel soon to be a major Hollywood film. You're fed up with your office job, your flatmate, your bank manager and yourself. Fate throws you a lifeline. You're now the sole inheritor of a cottage on a remote island off New Zealand. Do you take it? Of course you do. So, off sets Rosie Trethewey, not knowing what she's in for but pretty certain it can't be worse than what she's got. She's not counted on her reclusive neighbours: a traumatised refugee of the war in Burma, and a misanthrope of an ex-policeman. They can't abide each other, let alone the thought of a newcomer. And a woman at that. But you can't survive on an island without some degree of contact. Rosie is the catalyst that forces the loners to come to terms with themselves, each other and the encroaching world.
