Description(s)
Part memoir, part fiction, this account of escaping the rat race to live the island dream is as close as you will get to understanding what drives anyone's search for freedom. It's 1992 and English magazine journalist Nigel Simmonds escapes corporate life to move to Bali, the island of the gods. His first port of call is Ubud, below sacred Mount Agung, where he sets up home among a collection of characters for whom life in the West – known as The Machine – has become untenable. It is among these crystal questers that he finds his place as the observer of a late century hedonism that ultimately proves destructive for anyone who enters. Drawn to their unfettered ways he approaches an edge that offers both hope and peril – can he find redemption?
