Paradise: warm, wet, wild. It's the locale of which dreams are made, a once-forgotten Pacific-Ocean dependency of the British crown, rejuvenated in recent years by an influx of new ideas and old money. Jonnie Comet's serial adventure collection, "A Tale Of Two Paradises," lets the rest of the world in on what life is really like in a remote tropical archipelago at the turn of the 21st century.
Sweet Janine Hewlett is just a normal girl growing up in the most exotic land on earth, taking it all in stride. Once her new friend Sally introduces her to older, desirable Charlie, the subsequent educational experiences suggest that the attraction might really be mutual. As Charlie's birthday nears Janine must decide just what she can offer as the most memorable gift ever.
Intelligent and conservative, young Janine narrates her own coming-of-age saga from wide-eyed innocence to healthy scepticism with modesty, eagerness, compassion... and startling candour. Read on, if you dare, but remember: " in Paradise, all things are possible."
NOTE-- contains moderately 'risque' situations (ala BBFC '15').
This eye-opening novella from Surf City Source is the introductory instalment of the "Janine, of Paradise" story arc. Further information about this fascinating fantasy/fiction realm is available at The British Paradise Islands Wikia, now online.
