Melanesian Girl

About the Book

Set in the exotic location of Papua New Guinea, this story begins as a traditional man-woman relationship between two characters of different cultures – Harris finds woman irresistible, goes astray and continues in the paths to evil whereas the female character - Aalma – remains firm in her tribal beliefs. With the virtue of sacrifice embedded in women, the story later on develops into a real-life drama.

In his first trip there, a chance meeting with a Melanesian girl lingers on in the memory of a family man until his dream of returning to the “back to the nature” comes true.

You will be drawn into this story that is full of twists and unexpected turns until it climaxes in the end with a shattering revelation.
