After three years on the remote tropical island of Fanua, Timothy Fortune, a missionary from London, has made little headway. The islanders show very little interest in Christianity and he has only a single convert- a boy, Lueli. As Mr Fortune’s affections for both Lueli and his new island home deepen, he begins to question all his old certainties – until one day he is put to a terrible test.A wry exploration of faith, colonialism and the demands of love, Mr Fortune’s Maggot is as quietly subversive as it is delightful.
