I have traveled to Eleuthera twice. Reading George's book was like traveling back to the island. He has been able to combine a fine story of romance with wonderful descriptions of all the beautiful places in Eleuthera. The book also contains several poetic essays on the island, and island life. My particular favorite was "Everything is Poetry, They Say" which is a beautiful description of the floral colors of Eleuthera and the Bahamas. If you have ever been to Eleuthera or any of the Out Islands, or are considering a trip, I would recommend the book. And if you have never considered travel there, reading his book may make you decide to go! Donna K, Lititz, Pa.

"Romance, Kalik and Conch Salad" by George Major (Eleuthera), published by 1stBooks.com: Review by Joanne Hoople (Canada)
"Romance, Kalik and Conch Salad: Things Bahamian" is unlike any traditional
travel book you will be likely to find. Yet, if you are interested in exploring the islands of the Bahamas that lie outside its well-known tourist locations of Nassau or Freeport, the island of Eleuthera is a perfect place to start.

Author George Major has managed a unique treatment here. Under the wide
panoply of fiction, he combines a travelogue of the island with tales of romance interwoven throughout. In doing so--and doing it brilliantly--Major succeeds in wedding the passionate sensitivities of the poet with the clear eye for detail of the consummate journalist.

I have read this book in electronic form but will also be purchasing it in paperback to keep it close at hand for my next vacation. Destination: Eleuthera!

Bahamas Writer Note: George has self-published two other books on http://www.1stbooks.com in addition to "Romance, Kalik and Conch Salad" - "Turtle Soup Theory : Bahamian Out Island Poetry" and "Blood on the Empire : Bahamian Murder Mystery".
