Euphoria
English anthropologist Andrew Bankson has been alone in the field for several years,
studying a tribe on the Sepik River in the Territory of New Guinea with little success.
Increasingly frustrated and isolated by his research, Bankson is on the verge of suicide
when he encounters the famous and controversial Nell Stone and her wry, mercurial
Australian husband Fen. Bankson is enthralled by the magnetic couple whose eager attentions
pull him back from the brink of despair. Nell and Fen have their own reasons for befriending
Bankson. Emotionally and physically raw from studying the bloodthirsty Mumbanyo tribe,
the couple is hungry for a new discovery. But when Bankson leads them to the artistic,
female-dominated Tam, he ignites an intellectual and emotional firestorm between the
three of them that burns out of anyone’s control. Ultimately, their groundbreaking
work will make history, but not without sacrifice.
