Editorial Reviews:
Synopsis:

Led by a charismatic and slightly unhinged woman, a group of environmentalists win control over a small atoll in the Pacific and sets up a utopian community. Breeding other threatened species and among themselves, these homesteaders slowly transform an Eden of their very own into a much darker place.


Review:

"[This] is a superb piece of storytelling, filled with supple turns and twists, as murder mystery, dystopian fantasy and nuclear age Bildungsroman blend into one....the sinister journey this book takes its readers on is paradisiacal indeed."

Chicago Tribune, 06/04/1995

Review:

"[A] savage, sometimes hilariously cold-blooded satire of overzealous environmentalists, animal rights activists, feminists, and fanaticism in general....'Return to Paradise' is a brisk and cautionary tale of the malevolent complexity of good intentions."

Katherine Dunn, Washington Post Book World, 05/21/95
