Raised in Zimbabwe, Africa, I have an affinity for the continent and its complexities.

I travelled quite extensively in the last decade which has informed my travel writing. You'll find a particular focus on Turkey, Southern Europe and Africa.

Perhaps as a consequence of being a person of many parts I've struggled to settle down in my adult life. Ironically, as a young man, I never imagined I would want to live anywhere else...

As the great journalistic travel writer Ryszard Kapuscinski points out in his book, Travels with Herodotus,

"A journey does not begin the moment we set off, nor does it end the moment we have reached our doorstep once again. It starts much earlier and is really never over, because the film of memory continues running i ...more

Leo Anthony liked a quote “This is the sort of thing we accepted as normal. Yet for all of us there were moments when the game we were all agreeing to play simply could not stand up to events: we would be gripped by feelings of unreality, like nausea. Perhaps this feeling, that the ground was dissolving under our feet, was the real enemy… or we believed it to be so. Perhaps our tacit agreement that nothing much— or at least nothing irrecoverable— was happening was because for us the enemy was Reality, was to allow ourselves to know what was happening.” Doris Lessing

Having read a few of the reviews below I can see this is a bit of a Marmite book. In other words it divides opinion strongly! One thing I can agree on is that it is NOT a fast-paced dystopian thriller. You have to be patient. It took me ages to get i ...more
