Narration Toward Books The Last Good Paradise

From the bestselling author of The Lotus Eaters and The Forgetting Tree comes a novel set on an island resort, where guests attempting to flee their troubles realize they can’t escape who they are.

On a small, unnamed coral atoll in the South Pacific, a group of troubled dreamers must face the possibility that the hopes they’ve labored after so single-mindedly might not lead them to the happiness they feel they were promised.

Ann and Richard, an aspiring, Los Angeles power couple, are already sensing the cracks in their version of the American dream when their life unexpectedly implodes, leading them to brashly run away from home to a Robinson Crusoe idyll.

Dex Cooper, lead singer of the rock band, Prospero, is facing his own slide from greatness, experimenting with artistic asceticism while accompanied by his sexy, young, and increasingly entrepreneurial muse, Wende.

Loren, the French owner of the resort sauvage, has made his own Gauguin-like retreat from the world years before, only to find that the modern world has become impossible to disconnect from.

Titi, descendent of Tahitian royalty, worker, and eventual inheritor of the resort, must fashion a vision of the island’s future that includes its indigenous people, while her partner, Cooked, is torn between anarchy and lust.

By turns funny and tragic, The Last Good Paradise explores our modern, complex and often, self-contradictory discontents, crafting an exhilarating story about our need to connect in an increasingly networked but isolating world.

Piece Containing Books The Last Good Paradise

Cant believe I read the whole thing. Unlikeable characters, clunky narrative, random plot. Just terrible.

I do not normally abandon books but was tempted to do so, many times, when reading this one. I stuck it out, however, and can confidently say this book was not for me. I could not find myself rooting for any of the characters or feeling sympathy for any of their plights. Ann was the character I should have related to the most, being in the same age range and life stage as her, but perhaps because of those similarities and our differences in personalities, she was the least likable to me. Her

Got this from firstreads.The back-of-the-book summary says that this is a dark comedy, but since I found it neither dark nor funny, I have to start with that quintessential Gracie Allen line: I don't get it.So I'm not sure what this book is, other than a romance with a little more depth that is generally present in that genre. All the characters have back stories. I didn't really get attached to any of them, but they also weren't offensive, and they each had something a little interesting about

I haven't read Tatjana Soli's much heralded debut book. I have read the second one, The Forgetting Tree, and found it offensive. Based on that, I suppose I shouldn't have picked this one up. But I loved the cover and I'm nothing if not optimistic. This wasn't offensive. I'll give it that. But it was boring. It started well enough. A couple in deep shit run away to an atoll on Tahiti and get embroiled in matters local and global. A number of others with troubles of their own join in and before

Listened to this. Liked the narrator, Tavia Gilbert, very much. Read The Removes by author and loved it. Good to see her range. This is much different. Humorous.

This one is totally different from her novel "The Lotus Eaters" and, I thought, a disappointment. Ann, a 38 year old attorney wants to quit law and have a baby. Her husband is a chef who is getting ready to open his own restaurant with a partner. The partner is irresponsible and in debt so badly that he ruins the business before it opens, and Ann and her husband take off to a pristine island with a money bag filled with illegally gotten money. There are a lot of relationship problems with and

I had a problem getting involved with both the story and its style. When a junior partner of a lawfirm who is desperately trying to get pregnant flees with her chef husband to a Pacific atoll, well, it does go on from there, but glacially. Other characters never seem to gel or gain any more credulity than the central couple, and I must admit, I felt my time would be better served otherwise. I am sorry I didn't like it more.
