A Patch of Paradise
(Gaia Grant: Random House Australia / Periplus Asia 2002)

“I can walk out my front door onto a white sandy shore, or duck out the back into a coconut grove and pluck fresh pawpaw from the trees. I can feel as though I am worlds away from the twenty-first century – yet whenever I re-enter my thatched bamboo hut the contemporary world comes to me. I have found the best of both worlds.”

The desire to leave stressful city life behind and move to a tropical island is, for most, just a dream. Gaia Grant decided to turn that dream into a reality.  Packing up her family and journeying through Asia, she was eventually drawn to Bali for its exotic beauty, vibrant culture, and unique community lifestyle. Seven years on Gaia’s still there, running a successful international business with her husband from the same thatched hut on the beach they found when they arrived. In A Patch of Paradise, Gaia shares about the delights of island life – as well as the challenges of living and working in a country in dramatic transition – with both humour and sensitivity. She reveals the rewards of following dreams with a determined spirit and an open heart.

A Patch of Paradise is an inspiration for anyone who has dreamt of breaking out and finding a different way to live. Take the adventure of your lifetime with this evocative memoir of a woman who sought – and achieved – a permanent seachange. ( more )
