I thought I'd reviewed this book already, but it might have been on the predecessor to Goodreads. Chairman Clift had a pretty interesting life, she actually ran away from Australia to live on a Greek island and by the sounds of it, it didn't end well. This book is a collaborative production with her husband George Johnston, and the detail of daily life in a poverty-stricken village is taken from harsh personal experience. I have tremendous admiration for the divers. It is astonishing what the human body is capable of.
