About Adventure

Set in the Solomon Islands, Adventure is a penetrating portrayal of colonialism and slavery on a copra plantation at the end of the nineteenth century. Fighting local cannibals as well as unforgiving nature, the main character runs the plantation with an iron will. A strong and independent woman arrives to further add to the problems. The book has many racial undertones resulting in scholarly debate as to whether the author approved it, or was just accurately recording what went on.
