This short memoir shows the value of the story written in the memoir genre. Everyone contemplating moving to a new place, with a different culture, should read this.

Island a Memoir by Elaine Pace is written from the heart. A wonderful sharing of a personal journey to a different way of life, in a different place, celebrating different activities.
The descriptions of the Vineyard takes the reader to a special place deep in their memory, yet it is a warm and delightful experience.

What a delightful read! Clear! Crisp! Not a wasted word! A True journal of a woman's struggle to adjust to, and fit in with the people of the indigenous Island of Martha's Vineyard! A Memoir anyone going through a transition would benefit from, find much to reflect upon, and enjoy!

Elaine Pace's memoir of leaving her comfortable suburban New Jersey lifestyle to move to Martha's Vineyard is a fascinating account of a woman at mid-life following the intuition of her heart even though her head couldn't be entirely sure.

This is an empowering, real-life must-read for anyone contemplating a dramatic move to start life over elsewhere! A good book to keep you company through a mid-life transition.
