His native coast

"His native coast is a story of a search for identity. The rather inarticulate attempt of Michael Linder to shape for himself a personal identification with the world that would give ultimate meaning to his life is paralleled by Marina's own search: for Marina is partly tribal, and although her life and training are steeped in Western (American) culture, she is haunted by the influence of her Ifuago mother, who had lived and died in her native hills without once coming down to the lowlands."--Cover.See more
