In Ethiopia with a Mule

As usual with a Dervla Murphy book, a realistic and no nonsense explanation of her time. Although with an element of strangle thoughts, written as she thinks it, for example:
“This fertile region should be prosperous, yet nowhere else have I seen such poverty and disease. Most of the children are pot-bellied, covered with infected scabies and suffering from either conjunctivitis or trachoma, and many of the adults are coughing tubercularly or trembling malariously. Six people have shown me festering wounds because everyone imagines that faranjs carry unlimited medical supplies”
Writing like this makes it easy to read.
For me, thoroughly enjoyable. 4 stars.
