A spirited tale of love and honor on a doomed South Pacific island called Laysen, ""Lost Laysen"" would be justly praised as a charming effort by a remarkable young talent if it were its authors only work. But it isn't, of course, and ""Lost Laysen"" also enchants because of the many fascinating ways it foretells ""Gone With the Wind"" in its two central male characters, one a gentleman and the other more rough-hewn, who vie for the attention of a feisty, independent-minded woman, and who will go to any lengths to defend her honor; in its re-creation of a vanished world; and in its unforgettable ending.
