Passed to me by a coworker who had visited the island, and picked up the book. Always good to read about others' lives and this was no exception. Would have appreciated a more coherent structure, but the introduction said upfront that the author kept the rambling cadence of the stories so that you get a feel as a reader for Makia's personality, and it definitely worked. By the end of the book, I was a bit sad to say goodbye!
