This is one of my favorite books. A Science Fiction fairy tale. Beauty is hijacked by time travelers and goes from her enchanted castle in medieval times to the present and then to a dismal future. It combines humor and outrage and social observation seamlessly. I have read it twice and given several copies away.

This author put together a heartwarming book. It is a historical and a first person account of the cultural collision of South Sea Islanders with the people of European culture, who overtook much of the world during the colonial era. I found it illuminating and heartwarming.

I read The Glass Castle and thought that Ms Walls could not ever write a book that I would like better.
I liked this one even better, so she proved me wrong.

This gripping narrative addresses history, science and the human parts of this amazing account with equal facility. The story itself is astonishing, encompassing a vast amount of medical progress in the past 60 years. The writing is equally commendable because it enables the reader to comprehend some complex science, events, and ethical questions with clarity.
One of my favorite books.
