'Follow the adventures of four misfits on a journey across the island of Borneo. Part travel story, part personal memoir, and much more than that, this is a journey of the imagination, of the spirit; it is a journey through life, through marriage, through religion. It is a journey that spans two centuries and takes the reader from a childhood in Tasmania to a life in Indonesia, from one end of the archipelago to the other, from the jungles of Kalimantan to the riots and political turmoil of Jakarta. The writing is thick with lucid description, anecdotes and reflections on this sweet disappearing world.' (Publisher's blurb)
