What happens when a varied group of men and women, married and unmarried, from our own complex culture is thrown together for six dramatic weeks with the people of a simpler, happier society, free from the inhibitions and tensions of the twentieth century? This provocative novel is the story of such confrontation, as an American field team of anthropologists and laymen descends upon a remote Polynesian island to study a unique and hitherto undiscovered way of life.
