About

Signed by author

Standby is a fascinating account of a chaotic life. With an airline captain for a husband, Vivienne Pascoe has been uprooted again and again. Always on standby, Vivienne found travelling around the world with young children in the 40s and 50s hard work. Although she frequently craved stability, she began to reap the benefits of her globetrotting existence: a chance meeting with The Beatles in Hong Kong; an introduction to ikebana (the Japanese art of flower arranging); and even a sighting of the volcanic eruption of Kilauea Crater in Hawaii.

Includes monochrome images, map.
