Set against the exotic backdrop of the Solomon Islands, the story follows the enchanting Gabrielle Everard, a white girl living in a tribal community, and the complex dynamics of her relationships with the local people and other outsiders, including the charming ship's apprentice Hillary L and the intriguing half-caste Rajah Koo Macka.
