This volume is an annotated edition of Frida Peemuller's memoirs of
her time in German Samoa from 1910 to 1920. In her memoirs Frida
Peemuller gives us a unique insight into what was happening in
Samoa under the last years of the German administration, under New
Zealand occupation during World War I, and in Germany itself at the
outbreak of war, as she had returned to Germany in 1914 and was one
of the very few Germans whom the New Zealand authorities permitted
to re-enter Samoa. Her memoirs also give us a remarkable
perspective on life in Aden in the early twentieth century, as it
was on the ship returning her to her job with the American Consul
in Aden that she met her future husband, the Samoan plantation
owner Barnim Peemuller. The years they spent together on his
Ululoloa plantation were to be, as she writes, the best years of
their lives, as in 1920 they were repatriated by the New Zealand
authorities back to a Germany that bore little resemblance to the
country they remembered.
