ABOUT THE BOOK

This text contains four chapters from "Slow Boats Home", an account of the author's visit to Samoa. The author meets a Samoan family and stays at their home in a seaside village.

Gavin Young has lived with the Marsh Arabs in Iraq, and as a journalist has covered fifteen wars and revolutions throughout the world. Two extraordinary voyages are chronicled in his bestselling books, Slow Boats to China and Slow Boats Home, and it is from the latter that this extract is taken. Penguin publishes many of his books; his latest is From Sea to Shining Sea.
