SynopsisNow a country of wildlife refuges and matchless snorkling reefs, Belize was once British Honduras and described as in back of beyond. Conroy found its 19th-century character intact when he moved there to serve as American vice consul.Here is the humorous recollection of Hurricane Hattie, of colonial society, of Obeah witch doctors, and of bordello-owning officials and a rather high-handed governor.
