From New England Book Award winner Lily King comes a breathtaking novel about three young ant hropologists of the ‘30’s caught in a passionate love triangle that threatens their bonds, their careers, and, ultimately, their lives.
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.

评分人類學傢的八卦什麼的
评分硬著頭皮讀完的小說
评分It's a beautifully written story about three anthropologists and their love triangle in New Guinea. I always tiptoe around books about indigenous culture written by white people, yet found this one stunning. With endless discussions on different anthropological beliefs and approaches, the author gave readers the space to draw our own conclusions.
评分我讀不下去…寫實的小說真的很難看下去…美國廢墟是這樣…dear life是這樣…這本還是這樣…還是要暫時放棄瞭
