Virgin Island is a romantic fiction, which represents a book within
a book. Two passengers - a male and a female meet on board a plane
flying from the Lungi International Airport in Freetown, Sierra
Leone to London and then from London to China. The female passenger
is eager to share the romantic novel ''Virgin Island'' with
someone. Luckily, she succeeds in luring the male passenger into
listening to her read the whole book throughout their flight until
they reach their destination. Virgin Island revolves around two
main characters. They are a handsome and generous British Colonial
District Commissioner of Virgin Island, named Teddy Bear and a
young indigenous diva, Lucy, affectionately known as the Queen of
Virgin Island. After years of rollercoaster life, the DC finally
finds the love of his life in Lucy on this most beautiful and
popular island in the Southern region of Sierra Leone. In less than
a year, unbelievably, the couple marry marked by a display of
wealth, pomp and pageant but their relationship suffers frustration
due to anxieties and worries over childbearing setbacks. Amidst all
the drama, independence comes to Sierra Leone; DC Teddy Bear's
period of engagement on Virgin Island is over. The anxiety and
drama escalates. Will the DC take Lucy with him to England or not?
The story ends happily when the couple eventually leave for
England. Naturally as the two passengers enjoy the book throughout
their flight, they too, like the two main characters in the book
are fated. Will they too fall in love on their journey or when they
get to their destination in China? If it happens, is it by chance,
did fate intervene? This is the climax of Virgin Island.
