English anthropologist Andrew Bankson has been alone in the field for several years, studying the Kiona river tribe in the Territory of New Guinea. Haunted by the memory of his brothers’ deaths and increasingly frustrated and isolated by his research, Bankson is on the verge of suicide when a chance encounter with colleagues, the controversial Nell Stone and her wry and mercurial Australian husband Fen, pulls him back from the brink. Nell and Fen have just fled the bloodthirsty Mumbanyo and, in spite of Nell’s poor health, are hungry for a new discovery. When Bankson finds them a new tribe nearby, the artistic, female-dominated Tam, he ignites an intellectual and romantic firestorm between the three of them that burns out of anyone’s control.
Set between two World Wars and inspired by events in the life of revolutionary anthropologist Margaret Mead, Euphoria is an enthralling story of passion, possession, exploration, and sacrifice from accomplished author Lily King.

评分 评分硬着头皮读完的小说
评分最后部分感觉有点突兀和戛然而止……不过这个故事看得太让人难过了???? Bankson is much better than Fen好吗……还是现实生活中的Margaret Mead的结局更好
评分我也不知道该说什么了。不喜欢Fen 喜欢Bankson
评分唉 我真的觉得有点无聊
评分有点颠覆三观。看到最后深深被书里的情绪感染。
