Kathy Giuffre
The subtitle for this book sums it up really – My year on a South Sea Island,
doing nothing, gaining everything & falling in love. Author Kathy Giuffre travels to Rarotonga with her two young boys. Her mission is to write a book about art in the Pacific, but it is also a means to escape a failed relationship. A mix-up with her accommodation leaves Giuffre with no option but to share a home with an elderly woman (Emily), some “ghosts”, a couple of missionaries and briefly, a bizarre couple from Eastern Europe. Giuffre’s year-long sabbatical enabled her to focus on her children and reassess her life. And in the process, she is seduced by the Island, it’s people and a way of life. A lovely, light, holiday read with a happy ending. (Reviewed by Jill)
