About This Novel

This book is based on the real life story of the famous American anthropologist Margaret Mead. In the 1930s, three young anthropologists went to New Guinea for investigation. A love triangle occurred between them, which subtly affected their ideas, academic careers, and even their destiny. Andrew Bankson came from an academic family, and his father fervently hoped that his children would follow in his footsteps and study biology. His two brothers died unexpectedly one after another. Bankson followed in the footsteps of his father and brother and went to Cambridge to study biology, but was attracted by anthropology. After his father's death, Bankson returned to New Guinea where he had conducted fieldwork. The feeling of powerlessness in academic research and the shadow caused by the death of his relatives made him frustrated and attempted suicide.
