From New York Times bestselling author, Tatjana Soli, comes
The Last Good Paradise... 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.
