About this listen

On a remote South Pacific island, the struggles of an elderly tribesman to translate Hamlet into local pidgin English are interrupted by the arrival of an unexpected visitor. William Hardt is an obsessive young American lawyer who has come to help. From that moment on, nothing will ever be the same - for what (and who) William finds on the island will challenge both his and our notions about love, life, and even death.

Critic Reviews

"Harding's humour is close to hysteria...the novel is that rare thing - painfully funny." ( Daily Mail)

Witty and irreverent

This is possibly my favourite novel of all time. Each time I’ve read it over the years I struggle to find my next book.
