A Traveller's Guide to Namisa Janet Olearski

The map is not the territory. The guidebook is not the country, the culture, or the people. Philip Blair, an innocent posted abroad, must form his own judgement of Namisa, a country rich in tradition, ready to embrace new beliefs on the backcloth of the Namisan autumn-autumn and the Pundexit Crisis. But, will having a fake marriage compromise his principles and prevent him from finding true love? A story of intercultural miscommunication, corruption, multicoloured cocktails, and PhDs, A Traveller's Guide to Namisa is a contemporary, coming-of-age-for-late-developers novel, set in a world of work for the inadequately qualified.
