The Three Sirens

3.0 (1)

The shattering impact of the morals and customs of a tiny Polynesian community tears open the lives of visitors to a group of undiscovered Pacific islands. Here, untouched by western taboos and inhibitions, they discover the very depths of their own natures, desires, fears and passions. Promiscuous, impotent, bored, frightened, mother-dominated - this odd assorted group of men and women discover that unfettered freedom reveals their unknown selves with a relentless intimacy which cannot be ignored. Against the background of these Utopian coral islands, Irving Wallace has shown an idyllic way of life which exposes many of the deformities and hypocrisies of some of our most cherished beliefs and customs.
