The Reef Girl

Product Description An American writer travels with his fiancée to Tahiti and is lured away from her by the seductive splendor of the island and by a Tahitian beauty named Faaone, who sweeps him into a web of murder, deception, and revenge. Review "Grey had spent some ten years in Polynesia, and he decided to present an accurate picture of white/native relations, albeit embedded in a romance. What happens is as unexpected as if Maugham sat down to write West of the Pecos or Riders of the Purple Sage.-- "Kirkus Reviews" About the Author Zane Grey® (1872-1939), born in Ohio, was practicing dentistry in New York when he and his wife published his first novel. Grey presented the West as a moral battleground in which his characters are destroyed because of their inability to change or are redeemed through a final confrontation with their past. The man whose name is synonymous with Westerns made his first trip west in 1907 at age thirty-five. More than 130 films have been based on his work.
