In Wright's debut novel, Going Native, a young woman, Pia, leaves her life in Boston to relocate to the remote and impoverished island of Tanna in the Vanuatu archipelago. Pia is an artist and a recent college graduate who is searching for a new way to express herself. She quickly realizes that the island is not what she expected. The people are friendly and welcoming, but the landscape is harsh and the culture is steeped in tradition. Pia is quickly pulled into the community and the cultural rhythms of the island. She falls in love with Tanna and the people she meets there, but she is also challenged by the island's customs and traditions. Going Native is a story of transformation, of finding oneself in a new and unfamiliar place. It is also a story of love, of the power of connection to another person and to a place.; 8vo; 305 pages.
