'Those of us who live on islands know the remote, bounded world they inhabit and will recognise the unbearable closeness of being they endure. We have found our freedom in confinement. But don't take our word for it - we are storytellers of the most unreliable kind. Mike Johnson's Paradise Island is a place where memory and nostalgia mix and reality is lapped at every day by the tides of rediscovery. Back in the day, of course, it would have been so much simpler.' Greg Treadwell, ex-editor of the Gulf News, Hauraki Gulf. 'Written with wit, charm and colourful layers that peel off to reveal an island full of characters and events that raise a laugh amid whimsical reflections.' John Hawkesby.
