About This Item
London: Andre Deutsch, 1990. 274pp. B/w photos taken by the author. Frontispiece map of the Fiji Islands. Neatly printed name on top edge of Ffep otherwise a tight, clean copy. DJ has price intact, minor shelfwear with one tiny chip to top of spine. When life as a harbourmaster in a Hawaiian out island began to seem too civilized, fifty-four-year-old Joana McIntyre uprooted herself to Fiji, in search of adventure and a new life. Changes in Latitude follows Joana as she struggles to make real a long-aspired-to personal mythology based upon the integration of nature and a life well-lived. It documents the lush life of the torrid zone; an uncommon anthropology of the flora, fauna, rituals, passions, and day-to-day lives of the Fijian people, and of a feisty American woman who adopts it all, and shares it with us. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Illus. by The Author. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
