Publisher's Summary
On his way home from a remote Pacific island, Dr Saunders travels with two strangers: the treacherous Captain Nichols, and Fred, a handsome Australian with a shadowy past. Driven to shelter from a storm on the island of Banda, the trio meets good-natured Erik Christessen and his fiancée, the cool and beautiful Louise.
A tense, exotic tale of love, jealousy, murder and suicide, which evolved from a passage in Maugham's earlier masterpiece, The Moon and Sixpence.

One of Maugham’s best.
One of my favourite Somerset Maugham novels, I had read it several times. The characters become very real, giving the listener a great feel of the Pacific and early 20th century east.
At first I found the narration a bit overdone but soon came to enjoy David Thorpe’s excellent telling of The Narrow Corner.
