Description

Edie and Victor Turner were among the most influential researchers in the 20th century. Together they raised the idea of participant observation to heights most anthropologists never achieve. These memoirs are a testimony to a remarkable partnership and to Edie Turner's own achievements after Victor's death.

First Sentence

My life has followed a strangely directed path, and its documentation has become the story of a spiritual journey, one that took a whole lifetime.
