Wonderful journey through the islands of the South Pacific with this Pacific Islander. I laughed and cried and could almost taste the salt of sea spray. A modern day Arthur Grimble who painted his own cover in the dense purples and greens of the island flora and transports you to Fiji and Tahiti, Guam and the Cooks with tales of pirates and shipwrecks, romance and heartbreak.
