In just 150 words please tell Tusitala and the 'World' about one of your favourite books and share your enthusiasm with others. Just send Tusitala around 150 words as to why you love a particular book. It doesn't matter whether it is fiction or non-fiction. Once the review has been accepted it will be posted on the Friends of Tusitala Review Section and readers can get the chance to enjoy your recommendation. Many Thanks! Essential Desert Island Reads Books do change your life and have certainly transformed my existence! So, if I were contemplating a few months on an island (not unlike the original ‘Tusitala’ Robert Louis Stevenson) then these books would have to come with me. They are very powerful friends of mine.
