Best of Island Views Three


This third issue of Island Views is dedicated to Laura Huxley, wife of the late Aldous Huxley, for whose novel Island Group is named. It was a crisp day in late November 1993 that I made my way up the maze-like roads to Laura Huxley's house, perched high in the Hollywood hills. I spent a delightful three hours there and I believe that the following interview is of utmost significance for members of Island Group.

Laura Huxley is the founder of Our Ultimate Investment. She wrote: You are Not the Target (Farrar, Straus & Giroux), Between Heaven and Earth (Farrar, Straus & Giroux), This Timeless Moment (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, Mercury House), and The Child of Your Dreams (with Pierro Ferucci) (Compcare).
