Told from the perspective of Dr. Kersaint, the book and film tell their story as a flashback. Kersaint himself is intriguing. Isolated from his own kind, he has become jaded with European attitudes towards Polynesians. His is a lethargy of soul and spirit, because of what he has seen. Especially soul rending is the fate of Terangi, the Polynesian sailor, who is put through the remorseless grind of the French legal system. Terangi's life with his family and his ultimate test of courage and moral certitude comes with the climax of the book, the awaited hurricane that strikes his island. Only a lucky core of islanders survive. And at book's end, all characters, French and Polynesian alike, seek redemption from the harshness of nature, both in man and in the sea. ( )
