The most authorative book available on Chile, now updated with a new 5,000-word introduction.
lively and sympathetic...Sara Wheeler is very well worth reading.
a perceptive and entertaining account.
a thorougly enjoyable book with plenty of humour.
Chance meetings and planned visits are described with enough imagery and dialogue to make you pack your rucksack before finishing the book.
