The book discloses the struggles, survival and contributions to the local economy by farmers who toil on small pieces of land ranging in sizes of three to five acres each. These are leased from the Indigenous owners for a fixed term with no provision for further extension. The public bus services in Fiji are vividly narrated to capture the true essence of the word `Fiji Time'. The book tries to build bridges of remembrance, understanding and reconciliation amongst Fijians of diverse cultural backgrounds. Finally, the book very clearly articulates and communicates the message that no matter where a Fijian is located in the world, one can never part from the fond memories of the island home! 610 $aFarmers 610 $aSugarcane 610 $aFiji 610 $aTechnology & Engineering 610 $aBusiness & Economics 700 $aSharma$b Kamlesh$01433578 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910156238803321 996 $aFiji My Island Home$93592236 997 $aUNINA
