Product Description
Excerpt from Marama: A Tale of the South Pacific
By the light of a spluttering candle, stuck jauntily in the neck of a lemonade bottle, the bid den guests of the evening reviewed their repast with critical eye, for each had contributed her quota towards its purchase out of all too scanty pocket money, and took a personal interest in the ingredients.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book follows Marama Thurston, a young woman of mixed Samoan and English descent as she returns to her Fijian home after 12 years of boarding school in England. The narrative is set against the backdrop of the early 20th century in Fiji and explores themes of identity, family, and the complex social dynamics of a colonial society. The author delves into the clash between traditional Fijian culture and the influence of British colonizers, shedding light on the resulting social hierarchy and prejudices prevalent at the time. As Marama navigates this landscape, she grapples with her own sense of belonging and struggles to reconcile her mixed heritage within the rigid social structures of the time. This thought-provoking novel offers a nuanced exploration of identity, race, and the enduring legacy of colonialism in Fiji during the early 20th century.
