Last week I was excited to attend Robyn Harbour's book launch at the Inverloch Library. Robyn has written a collection of short stories entitled Beyond the Palm Trees. Her stories were inspired by her time living in Vanuatu. Robyn and her husband were missionaries in Vanuatu for three years.
The front cover of the book shows a delightful shot of a typical Melanesian village. I'll have to get reading all the stories so I can review her book at a later date.
Celebrating literature from the Pacific Islands. Introducing world stories with mana. Reviewing stories related to all things "island", including village life, colonialism, sea-faring, myths and legends.
