Unusual plot about a woman doctor who is disillusioned with professional life and inherits a shack on New Zealand's Great Barrier Island. She decides to settle down there, but makes various changes in the place of the sort a woman would. Two anti-social men with plenty of problems of their own already live there and resent her arrival, feeling she has ruined the solitary way of life they have each established. Gradually, the three work things out and become closer. This is funny in places and also, in part, a strange love story. There is a sub-plot about the depredations wreaked on the fish supply by a big Japanese trawler and what the three do to try to save their island.
