Off the Indonesian island of Dana, Isi Natoli, skipper of the Java Ridge, and a group of Australian surf tourists are anchored beside an idyllic reef.

Brilliant storytelling and narration

Spot on narration, moving story.
Not quite as compelling as Backyard Cricket but completely worth a credit.

superb and harrowing read

I was moved and upset at the same time. Not only a well written novel with a great story line but a deep insight into race and prejudice. Wasn't sure the author could
emulate The Rules of Cricket but he has shown himself to be a truly great author.
