Recently divorced and made redundant from his job, Julian Crosby
needs a break from reality. That's why he's gone to Hawaii...
If his personal circumstances had been different-if he were
simply on a two-week vacation in Maui with his now former wife-then
he surely would have laughed and said "no" to the outrageous offer
from the funny-looking Hawaiian wearing a loud tropical shirt with
an equally loud, not to mention obnoxious, blue and yellow parrot
named Buenaventura perched upon his shoulder to buy a rundown boat
called Scoundrel.
But that was then and this is now... Or is it?
Meanwhile, sixty years ago, Amelia Earhart is getting ready for
her much publicized flight around the world. Is this daring
adventure to be her final flight, her swan song? Or is she actually
on a reconnaissance mission for President Roosevelt? And what does
her ill-fated flight have to do with Julian, his innocent Hawaiian
holiday and his newly-acquired boat? As Buenaventura reveals, "Only
time will tell" as their two worlds unexpectedly and impossibly
collide.
In this award-winning novel a weekend sailor shipwrecked on an
uncharted atoll in the South Seas eventually discovers the island's
only other human inhabitant-a woman who bears an uncanny
resemblance to 1930s lost flying ace Amelia Earhart.
