Found it in stock at Barnes and Noble a couple of days ago; they said they didn't need to wait for the launch date. Looking forward to the read.

Libby, your Colombier neighborhood gets mentioned early because of the beauty and remoteness of the beach there.

I haven't ordered a copy yet. I wonder how much of this book is fact vs. fiction...

It is a well researched and fascinating read. After receipt of a gifted early copy—read quickly as I did not want to travel w/said copy—I am now re-reading on kindle to savor and enjoy once again. Congratulations and many thanks to MG

Fact vs. Fiction? There are at least 3 sides to every story. My side, the other guys side, and what the impartial fly on the wall sees. I’ve just acquired the book. I’ll gauge it against my experiences over 40 years of visiting St Barth, but I was not locally born, and I’ve never been a resident. I expect that I may see a different bit of color on some points, but that’s it. For now, it’s just time for me to read the book.

I hope you enjoy the book as much as I.
