Summary
The world calls the Falkland Islands harsh and isolated. The Carters called it home....
In 1982, war brought The Falkland Islands into the spotlight. When Jennifer and her family put down roots in an unspoiled community on West Falkland, they can’t help but see the unruly climate and the close proximity to a frozen wasteland. How could a place like this be worth fighting for?
The Carters quickly learn that the Falklands way of life is friendliness and self-sufficiency. Their new life becomes one of abundant wildlife and growing their own food, but it never strays from the island’s true British identity.
Part homesteading, part off-the-grid, and all charm, this loving testimony to the resilient people of the islands will have you adding the Falklands to your bucket list in an instant.
My Falkland Islands Life is the story of one family’s adventure in a sub-Antarctic British territory 8,000 miles from the United Kingdom. The Falklands are situated in the South Atlantic, to the east of Argentina, South America. Whether you live on the islands, plan to travel there, or enjoy a fascinating travelogue, you’ll love Jen Carter’s engaging memoir of a charming life at the bottom of the world.

Interesting story of a completely different life
I have been reading about the Falklands war and have been enjoying learning of a conflict that had an enormous logistical effort but I lacked the perspective on the struggles, the impact and way of life on the island.
This book show how it was to move away from a more comfortable place to Falkland, the everyday struggle that is required to live on a place like that and the impact of the Falkland war.
The narrator is good and easy to listen to but it could have been improved with sound effects to experience the environment on a closer level.
