Download As PDF : A Taste for Green Tangerines eBook Barbara Bisco 
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.
A Taste for Green Tangerines eBook Barbara Bisco
It was a slog I sometimes thought I'd just end, but I made it through the whole book. I was fascinated with the bits about flora and fauna, as well as the anthropological aspects (Dayaks), however, the character-building was rather superficial. A number of researchers are studying the rainforest as well as the local indigenous tribe while building an inn for eco-tourism, which was meant to support the research. Good and bad things happen. Lots of sex-talk and bed-hopping (in a boring sense). I can't call this a literary masterpiece, by any means, but there was enough that interested me to pull me through the whole thing. Depending on your interests, you might find this fascinating....or utterly boring.The kindle version had some formatting issues. Sentence indentation varied from 4 - 12 spaces and could be quite distracting.
If you enjoy this book, try Stripped - another eco-thriller set in the same part of the world (timber barons vs environmentalist types + ripped off native peoples)

A Taste for Green Tangerines eBook Barbara Bisco Reviews
Slow and dull
Loved. This book was richly atmospheric and well-crafted. Not only did I get a portrait of Borneo, but I also got a feel for the culture and the people. I especially liked the depiction of interplay between the tribal culture/s and the various researchers on the team. The author brings a history of field study into her writing, and the reader appreciates her cultural sensitivity and background. There are much needed questions raised about American imperialism and its effects on indigenous culture which I hope are brought to a larger audience by this book. While there is absolutely a strong romantic component to the book (which will not disappoint the targeted audience), the reader really gets so much more, too. The relationships were surprising and mysterious while also revealing more character development than any other romance on the shelves. A great pick for romantics, travel enthusiasts, and explorers- but with a deep message.
