Loosely based on the life of Margaret Mead, Euphoria is the story of a nonconventional woman living in conventional times who manages to rise above society's expectations and make a career and life for herself as an anthropologist, wife and mother. The New Guinea setting is almost a character in itself. Although my book group didn't love this book, we sure had a great discussion about it.

Great historical fiction based on time Margaret Mead spent in the South Pacific.
Interesting novel, inspired by the author's readings about Margaret Mead, of anthropologists in the 30s, at the very beginning of the discipline. I found the first chapter quite horrific and had a hard time pushing through it, but then I became caught up in the story. It's short, but has a lot in observation and information woven in.
