Fascinating story about a group of spoiled executive's wives who become stranded on an island and how they survive, evolve, and, ultimately, escape. Shirley Conran weaves a credible tale of greed (corporate, personal, political), political instability, deception, and love. The settings for her story range from the luxurious corporate offices of Nexus, with its "sharks in suits" to the savage jungle of Paui and, finally, to the potentially deadly sea. The author takes her time building the plot, so it's not a quick women-in-peril read.
I enjoyed reading about the women's developing survival skills and life in the jungle. Conran doesn't sugar coat their experiences and I really felt their disappointments, fears, horror, and desperation. A good book to take on a vacation.
