Publisher's Synopsis
Far across the Pacific the tales of WILD VANILLA sail. From Sydney to Suva, Samoa and Guam, they drop anchor in Tarawa, Tuvalu and Tanna, tie up in Honiara, Papeete and the Marquesas. In WILD VANILLA Fijian writer Peter Thomson delivers on the promise of his prize-winning book KAVA IN THE BLOOD. Here is a compelling collection of deeply personal stories of Fiji coups d'etat, cargo cults and the bitter-sweet cut of island heritage, told through the wanderings of beachcombers, shipwrecked writers, and the companionship of fellow travellers.
