Summary

"Greek Island Life gives a vivid and engaging account of research on remote Anafi in the 1960s, and is based on letters, progress reports, field-notes and diary entries made at the time. These allow readers to experience vicariously the bewildering early weeks of fieldwork in the spring of 1966, the writer's first impressions, mistakes and misunderstandings, and her attempts to make sense of what was going on during the sixteen months she spent on the Island."--Jacket.
