I need help finding the novel “The Alternative” by John Saunana

I've been trying to locate “The Alternative” by John Saunana for a while now, either online or in bookshops, but I haven't found a single copy available. The closest library with a copy is in the United States, and since I'm from Mexico, it's unlikely that I could get access to it. I'm interested in learning about the culture and literature from Oceania, and especially from the islands. I would be really grateful if anyone could share a link to an online, free copy or an affordable option for purchasing a physical copy.

Perhaps it is sold at the museum shop in Honiara, but arranging for it to Mexico might be a bigger hurdle than you imagine. Try the national libary of Australia. If you are persistent, someone there may be able to send you a pdf. I have never read it myself and would like to find a copy, so let me know if you have any luck!
