About this listen
For many years Sierra Leone and Liberia have been too dangerous to travel through. With their wars officially over, Tim Butcher sets out on a journey across both countries, trekking for 350 miles through remote rainforest and malarial swamps, pursuing a trail blazed by Graham Greene in 1935. Weaving history and anthropology with personal narrative - as well as new discoveries about Greene - it is as exciting as it is enlightening.

Cracking listen
Not as good as blood river but still extremely interesting. I Love the way he blends history and anecdote to creating a compelling narrative.

Learn about Africa, experience adventure
I thoroughly enjoyed this audio book. The reader has a very clear and soothing voice (British accent).
The book itself thought me so much about Liberia and Sierra Leone and its recent history while being intertwined with exciting adventures. I enjoyed the background information places throughout the stories. The writing style is easy enough to follow while commuting or cooking. I really recommend this book

Even better than Blood River
Excellent, especially regarding the history of Liberia and the Poro. Eloquent performance by Nick McArdle

Another excellent read
I greatly enjoyed Blood River and was excited to hear that Tim Butcher had written this book. His ability to weave together historical background with his day to day experiences paints a captivating picture of a fascinating country with a sad past and uncertain future. A definite one to recommend.
