    How to Shit Around the World

    Enlivened by colourful crappy tales

    Independent on Sunday Book of the Week

    50 Camels and She's Yours

    A psychotherapist, an accountant, a teacher and two doctors write about their very different experiences and insights of travel in five continents. The prose is well-observed, funny, poignant, perceptive and thought-provoking.

    A Glimpse of Eternal Snows

    I am writing to tell you that I chose “A Glimpse of Eternal Snows” for the latest meeting of OUR Book Group (that’s its name). The book was extremely well received by all. We found it very touching, vivid and most enjoyable. It engendered such good discussion. It was an excellent conversation about the emotional, physical and descriptive aspects of the book. A really good book club book!
