Highly recommended! This entertaining and educational read is like getting a private tour of the magical island of St. Kitts. It's full of personality, spirit and humor. Read and you'll be recommending it!

This is a thoroughly enjoyable book filled with vivid descriptions of St. Kitts and its people. Joan's style of writing enables the reader to be swept away into the relaxing lifestyle of island living. Her humorous tales are interspersed with many historical facts about the Caribbean.

Anyone interested in the Caribbean will enjoy this book. Beautifully written, it explores the magnificence of St. Kitts and captures the spirit and soul of the island's people. Personal experiences and fascinating anecdotes provide colorful examples of "de life."

What a treat! This wonderfully written book not only vividly describes Caribbean living and its people, but entertains you the entire time. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in the Caribbean and who likes an easy going, fun and informative read. You will enjoy this one!

Excellent book!!

My family is from St. Kitts and it brought back lots of memories.

Highly recommend it to anyone that is interested in buying a property in St. Kitts.

Book was boring!!!!!! Can't believe I finished it. Great idea for a book, but author spent too much time telling history or talking (on and on) about people from the island. Was expecting more adventures.

There are a lot of good books out there on island life, island living, moving to and sailing around Caribbean islands. Unfortunately, this isn't one of them. I was variously angry and astonished at Harrington's attitude and seeming obliviousness to her own ignorance. An upper-middle-class American couple transplants its lifestyle and sensibilities to a Caribbean island? So what? I'm left wondering why they bothered, and why I bothered buying this book.
