She describes, too, her everyday domestic life in Guyana, setting up a home, making a garden, going to market. She tells of adventures ? and some misadventures ? into the Interior and of encounters with the different races which make up the Guyanese nation. She analyses the problems that confront it, which are many and grave, including poverty and mass unemployment, but behind all this she portrays a diverse people, full of resourcefulness, good humour and charm.* This is a FINE reprint copy with absolutely minimal shelf wear.*
