Set in the midst of the Indonesian rainforest, A TASTE FOR GREEN
TANGERINES begins with Bethany Parker's arrival in Borneo and explores
the limits of friendship and the consequences of love amidst a small
band of Europeans, Americans, and Australians working on an eco-tourism
project there. As they battle loggers and gold miners, experiment with
local medicines, and selectively adopt the ways of a traditional
culture, passions are inflamed, long-held values are shattered, and
perspectives are altered by the savagery and beauty of their jungle
surroundings. When out-of-control fires, a toxic 'haze' and the
blood-drenched practices of the head hunters finally drive them from
their leafy 'Eden', no one, least of all Bethany, herself, emerges from
the steamy isolation unchanged.
