This difficult life requires obstinacy. There are no stores for shopping. The settlers must travel the roads outside their homes in high-speed convoys, for fear of snipers. Last week the army uprooted crops for 50 yds. on either side of the road and cut down palms on the median strip. But few doubt that the snipers are even now looking for new roosts. Perhaps most stressful is the fact that life is filled with the tension and rage bred by living among people who hate your presence. Zweig's family lives in a small mobile home, and although...
...Tension is really high. It was 4 a.m. when I arrived back home. My wife Name'ah was waiting and extremely upset at me. She was screaming at me in every direction. I did not respond. I kept looking at her eyes. She was worried and confused. Then Name'ah asked very gently if I was hungry...

There is tension to be sure, because Corcoran's daughter Josephine is in love with a seaman, Ralf Rackstraw, but she is betrothed instead to a much, much older man, Admiral of the Queen's Navy, Sir Joseph Porter. The Captain himself is in love with dear little Buttercup, but cannot marry her because she is a poorly Bumboat woman, of a lower class than he. So, these characters try to find love and belonging amid a chorus of grinning, gallivanting sailors, brightly dressed sisters, cousins and aunts, not to mention the rolling high seas. Actually, the calm...
