'It Rained in Bora Bora' lifts the lid on cruising, probing beneath the superficial glamour of a Round-the-World voyage to reveal the discontent resulting from unrealistic expectations promoted by the hype in glossy travel brochures. We laugh at Edie's antics as she raises selfishness to an art form, always pushing to the front of every queue and making a miraculous recovery from her need for a wheel-chair whenever it suits her. We shake our heads in disbelief at 'Gracie the Grimmie' and 'the Crankies,' but can't help wondering why they behave in the way they do. And what exactly is it that poor, dour Margie is planning to make a splash off the coast of St. Lucia? More importantly - why? Back stories are told and relationships develop as 'The Matisse' ploughs on through the ever-changing sea. For some, like Jack and Chrissie, lives will never be the same, while others fail to learn the error of their ways. We laugh and cry at the reactions of this group of assorted travellers and, as their stories emerge, are occasionally shocked beyond belief by the extraordinary behaviour of a few in the confines of a small cruise ship. The book explores the enigma that is human behaviour while taking the reader on an exciting journey to over twenty different countries.
