London:: Andre Deutsch,, (1990.). Hardcover first edition -. Near fine in near fine dust jacket.. First UK printing. From the dj: "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. Much to her surprise, what she found was Male Varawa, a dark, handsome Fijian fisherman less than half her age.... 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." Illustrated with photographs by the author. Notes on the language, glossary, xii, 274 pp.
