Discusses such concepts as belief, science, imperialism, love, and community with Pratchett's trademark humor. Some of what happens is not quite believable, but I am under the impression that was intentional. Pratchett has a unique and highly entertaining style of applying unlikely and humorous events to get your attention while he illustrates his philosophies.
This story is about an island boy whose village is destroyed by a tsunami during his coming-of-age ritual, leaving him as the only survivor until he meets a shipwrecked English girl and eventually, survivors from other islands. His world is turned upside down, having lost everyone he knew. He finds relief from his grief in helping the other survivors, and in keeping his nation alive.
