About the book

In 1930s New Guinea, three anthropologists studying indigenous tribes become entangled in a passionate and dangerous love triangle that mirrors the complex power dynamics they observe in their research. As professional ambition collides with desire and jealousy, their relationships unravel with devastating consequences. King explores how the act of studying others can illuminate our own capacity for both transcendence and destruction.
