This is the least satisfying of all the books I have read in which James Norman Hall has had an authoring role. It seems like it was designed to be adapted for a film script. Even though I understand that it needed to be child-like in order to be true to the way in which we dream, I feel cheated somehow. The parts of the story that pertained to the war-in-the-Pacific experience missed the horror and truncated the emotion. In fact that's what I feel is missing - emotion - a pity really because that is what the storyline is attempting to drag out of a reader. I have not seen the movie but, as it is not still talked about, it may have flopped too. näyttää 2/2 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

The story itself is set during World War II in the South Pacific, in the vast expanse of open ocean amidst the Caroline and Marshall islands. Survivors of a Catalina PBY flying boat are adrift and awaiting rescue. As one day merges into another on the becalmed ocean, the central character, Alec Brooke, remembers a childhood story of a lost island paradise near where their plane has landed in the sea. The High Barbaree is that island. It is a refuge for all those broken by war and disaster. It is a place of memory, of a time when all things were unsullied by machinery, industrial devastation, and war. And it is home. A final destination for all. ( )
