I've given it 4 stars because it's a good story, a good tale woven around some historical facts, but not always good writing ~ the character Rosamund to me is underdeveloped, and why go and spoil a great tale with wanton sexual aerobics in a hammock?. Otherwise I loved the questing / exploration themes; Lou Lu the Ming eunuch for his politics and Popple for his black rose obsession. The ending came about too quickly with somewhat pat resolutions to certain characters but if not for the hammock scenes is forgivable as it reads like a fairy tale of sorts.

Adult novel set in the 17th century when Edward Popple and his daughter Rosamund escape a ship's mutiny and find refuge on an uncharted island in the Indian Ocean. On the island they encounter Lou Lu, a Chinese eunuch, and his charge, TaiZao, an impotent princeling, lost on the way to Rome to petition the Pope. The author was cultural attache at the Australian embassy in Peking from 1987 to 1990. He has published fiction, essays and translations of Chinese literature.
