What is it like to move to a new country on the other side of the globe, from an industrialized, so-called developed country to an agrarian, developing one? Ann Lindvall Arika has taken the step from Sweden to Solomon Islands, a nation in the South Pacific. The writer and former traveller has settled down and married into a big Solomon family. In Solomon Grassroot, we can follow her steps and take part in her new life on a ‘grassroots’ level.
This personal and easy-going autobiography is an attempt to answer the questions: Why did she do it? What is everyday life like? What kind of happiness and sorrows do the people have? How do the different cultures meet? Is the culture ‘totally different’, ‘enormously exotic’, etc.? How can a foreigner feel at home here? (The authors friends, who emigrated from Sweden to Australia, describe their step as a ‘move to the neighbour’s house’, compared to hers.)
With warmth and a low-voiced humour, the author portrays episodes from her daily living, both in the capital city of Honiara and in her husband’s village. She also brings up essential cultural aspects and background facts about the country.
