The Guadeloupe Diaries 2000-2001

Nine years after the return from a year which tipped my life upside down and sideways, I have finally decided to publish extracts from the diaries I kept during my year working in Guadeloupe as an English language assistant. I have tried to keep as close to events as possible, but for reasons of confidentiality and readability, I have introduced some composite characters.
