Book excerpt: In 1908, under orders to defend a tiny, isolated Pacific atoll from an improbable French invasion, Mexican captain Ramón Arnaud, his young bride, Alicia, and eleven soldiers and their families set sail for the so-called Isle of Passion. In this dire, forbidding place, a viable community is created under Ramón's guidance and inspired by Alicia's dedication. But they are soon forgotten by a motherland distracted by political upheaval and the first rumblings of World War I. Left to the mercies of nature and one another—falling victim one by one to disease, hunger, lust, despair, and, ultimately, violence—the castaways who remain must find strength in the courage and steadfast resourcefulness of Alicia Arnaud, upon whom their collective survival now depends. Based on true events, Laura Restrepo's Isle of Passion is a brilliantly rendered and dramatic tale of savage human nature—and one woman's determination to triumph over a harrowing fate.

Accidents and unexplained occurrences are turning their marital happiness into a nightmarish reality. Who are behind these terrifying events? Recently, they captured The Council of Friends in High Places who had slaughtered Drulietta’s Willoween ancestors. They are in jail awaiting trial. Did they have friends on the outside acting on their behalf? Was Josephine Grandville working for them, or was she back to kindle an old romance with Chad? Enter Selena Paradise, one of Chad’s ex-girls. Supposedly, she is in love with Justin Davenport. However, is she? Like a weed, she plants herself at the Van Hamilton estate, camouflaging herself as one of the family, creating havoc in any way her psychiatric mind could conceive. Six-year-old Delamar is having problems conforming to his new life and his new school. Can Chad and Drulietta help him to adjust to his new existence? As the unknown antagonists close in on them, Chad takes his family on the run. Soldiers and police are helping him to keep his bride alive. Will all their efforts be enough to save the last of the Willoweens?

Book excerpt: "Ra'iavavae had been, indeed, an island of erotic splendour will all-encompassing religious and sexual rites. But the Western civilisation of the traders and missionaries wrought a gradual change in the social, economic and religious structure of the island until it became as it is today, a complacent society that rarely hints of its dramatic heritage."--Book jacket.

Book excerpt: En 1908, el capitán mexicano Ramón Arnaud y su esposa adolescente parten hacia un pequeño atolón en el Pacífico, conocido por los exploradores españoles como la Isla de la Pasión. Acompañado de once soldados y sus familias, el capitán tiene órdenes de defender la isla ante la improbable invasión francesa. Con su peligroso arrecife de coral y una laguna estancada, la isla es amenazadora e inhóspita y sus nuevos habitantes deben luchar para sobrevivir. Logran crear una comunidad viable, pero entre la agitación política en su país y los comienzos de la primera Guerra Mundial, se ven olvidados en medio del Pacífico. Abandonados a la intemperie, uno a uno van cayendo víctimas del escorbuto, el hambre, la desesperación, la rivalidad, la lujuria y la irremediable violencia. Alicia, una mujer resuelta e ingeniosa termina convirtiéndose en el punto de apoyo para los demás, cuya supervivencia dependerá en su valentía y astucia.
