    About this ebook

    Fiji: my island home provides an extraordinary insight in the daily livelihood of the poor sugar cane farmers in Fiji.

    The book discloses the struggles, survival and contributions to the local economy by farmers who toil on small pieces of land ranging in sizes of three to five acres each. These are leased from the Indigenous owners for a fixed term with no provision for further extension.

    The public bus services in Fiji are vividly narrated to capture the true essence of the word ‘Fiji Time’.

    The book tries to build bridges of remembrance, understanding and reconciliation amongst Fijians of diverse cultural backgrounds.

    Finally, the book very clearly articulates and communicates the message that no matter where a Fijian is located in the world, one can never part from the fond memories of the island home!
