"A Gecko in the Machine....Postcards from the Bahamas" covers a
period from the emigration by the author and his wife with Habu,
their German Shepherd dog to their newly built home on the island
of Exuma in the Bahamas: it is an affectionate portrait of the
subsequent events, places and characters that they have encountered
along the way written from a personal perspective. For anyone who
has visited the island, this book refreshes memories of the place,
the people, the activities, the incredible colour and warmth that
pervades everything and above all, highlights the total contrast
from home. For the armchair voyager, it will make a highly readable
and amusing travel book to curl up with after lunch on a cold, wet
day in cooler climes. For anyone seeking to acquire a second home
in the sun or even emigrate, it provides a genial picture of what
to expect, the good and the frustrating; but one is constantly
reminded that the ultimate reward can include an idyllic turquoise
sea, a magical sunset, the sighting of a rare sea creature and the
peace.
