- Synopsis
- Julian Evans won a host of awards for this smart, funny, and thoughtful travelogue through the South Pacific islands. Evans was raised in Australia, but moved to England as a teenager, and forever longed to return to the Pacific of his childhood. He sails on a freighter from Australia to cross the Pacific, stopping at a series of ever more remote islands. Along the way he discusses the politics, history, and culture of the Pacific Islanders and the Europeans with whom they so uneasily co-exist. English, not American, spelling and punctuation; also dialect here and there
