About This Item
Institute of Pacific Studies. 2004. Trade paperback. Fine. No dust jacket as issued.. 371 p. . October 1946. The cargo ship Ville d'Amiens, from Marseilles, ties up at Papeete. On board is a young girl who has known war and who has just been through the stimulating experience of a voyage to the other side of the world. She is just at the start of her discoveries and adventures. One of her parents is from France, the other from Tahiti. This novel traces the frequently comical ups and downs of her learning about life, in an environment steeped in the colonial values of the time, guided by reaching of Christian morality, yet inspired by a parallel local lifestyle. What choices will be made from such mixed experiences, conveying varied and even conflicting messages? How far will she succeed in constructing her own identity and fulfilling her adolescent dreams, on this island to which she is so attached?
