In 1933, the anthropologist Margaret Mead took a field trip to the Sepik River in New Guinea with her second husband; they met and collaborated with the man who would become her third. King has taken the known details of that actual event and created this exquisite novel, her fourth, about the rewards and disappointments of intellectual ambition and physical desire. The result is an intelligent, sensual tale told with a suitable mix of precision and heat.
1933年，人类学家玛格丽特·米德(Margaret Mead)与第二任丈夫到新几内亚的塞皮克河做田野调查；他们遇见了一个男人，并与其合作，后来他成了米德的第三任丈夫。金采用这桩真实事件的已知细节创作了这本精巧的小说。这是她的第四本小说，探讨知性抱负与身体欲望带来的回报与失望。这是一个既聪慧又感性的故事，将精确与热情融合得恰到好处。
