Anthropologist Isobel has managed to find her way to a remote Polynesian island, where she thought she could study the language in its pure form. Instead she finds herself unwillingly studying the sexuality of the islanders, including acts which were beyond her wildest imagination! As with all Peter Marriner's heroines, Isobel's adventures do not end with this discovery: she soon discovers that there is a good deal of pain in her life as men of all rank seek to dominate the hapless woman, passing her on when it suits them.
