Review # 1 was written on 2013-02-05 00:00:00 Donald Holland A truly fascinating travelogue about Egypt, The Sudan and Ethiopia from the end of the 1980's written by an Englishman with the objectivity of an outsider but without the arrogance of the white man. An easy and an entertaining read with precious historical details embedded in personal experience with sympathy and sensitivity. A must read, really.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-01-31 00:00:00 Chris Estrada The writer recounts his journey from Egypt to Sudan in 1984, and reminisces about an similar trip a decade earlier. Pie-Smith is my kind of travel writer - slow, humble, sometimes down and out, willing to include the dirty details. He is a man with a lot of heart, and a good sense of proportion. A charming adventure.
