Michelle's Reviews > Surviving Paradise: One Year on a Disappearing Island

There were a few times I felt like this was a bit insensitive, but in the end I enjoyed this author's story of time spent teaching on a remote Marshallese island. He didn't sugarcoat the parts of this experience he found hard, but he did also come to understand and feel real affection toward the island and its people. I also enjoyed some of the language he included, am going to write a few down to ask my own Marshallese acquaintances if that is right and try to add it to my vocabulary.
