What Our Readers Are Saying
Encounter is a first rate introduction to culture shock in a fascinating page-turner. Compulsory reading for anyone wanting to engage in cross-cultural work
Ian perfectly captures what it's like to be in Samoa: the humidity and heat, living in the beachside fales... this is a great story, compellingly written - highly recommend!
I had to keep turning the pages. The authenticity and vulnerability lift the story beyond a mere memoir.
“Very well written. Best book I’ve read in many, many years.”
