The Falklands, at the time of this story, were a little-known group of islands miles away from anywhere that most people hadn't even heard of. Back in the late 1960s and early 1970s, they were a sleepy spot on the map where nothing much happened. They didn't bother anyone and no one bothered them. For two hundred years, nothing much changed in that respect and the modern world had only just begun to impinge on the islanders' way of life. There was no TV, and of course, no Internet. Telephone communications to home, as the UK was called, were limited to a few minutes per day when a particular satellite passed by and then only from a special room in Port Stanley, its capital. The author was pitched into a way of life that was completely unlike anything most Brits ever experience and this book describes his struggle to adapt to a new way of life while learning how to teach in extraordinary circumstances.
