Reminds me of "Life of Pi"
A widowed English teacher, eight young girls, and a sailor John Dollar are alone and threatened on a remote island off the coast of Burma in this fourth novel from Marianne Wiggins. Compelling, disturbing, and seductive, John Dollar is a haunting tale, a literacy tour de force, and a major work of fiction from a talented and provocative writer.
This book is just over 200 pages, yet it took me 132 pages to finally figure out was going on. The languages and customs and lifestyle are so foreign tome, I found it very difficult to grasp. Reminded me of Animal Farm and Life of Pei.
