A gem from the Indian Ocean,
By Honey Temlett (Epsom, Surrey United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Maldives (Hardcover)
This book manages to capture the extraordinary beauty of what is probably the most beautiful place on earth. The photographs are stunning (most of them are used on the postcards you'll find at the resorts!)and the accompanying narrative is informative, if brief. Although a little out of date in terms of the resorts covered and demographics supplied, I doubt you'll find a more impressive literary souvenir for your stay in the islands.
