Must Love Research
There are three separate stories here, all cleverly interwoven over the years. Easter Island is the thread that connects them. Not being a scientist of any kind, I could have done without the endless pages of what the scientist saw in her microscope, but that is my only complaint. It is well written, with satisfying character studies.
