Becke mixes affectionate sketches of fishing for whiting, bream and flathead along the Australian coast with stories of the Pacific islands he knew as a trader: the fisher folk of Nukufetau, a girl named Solepa, an island memory, and Mrs. MacLaggan’s “Billy”.

Authentic, unhurried writing about the Pacific from one of its best chroniclers. Download the free EPUB.
