Publisher's Synopsis
Dervla Murphy and her daughter discover the warmth and charm of the Malagasy people on the fascinating and little-explored island of Madagascar.
'Both a revelatory look at a richly mysterious country and a traveller's tale that keeps its grip every bump of the way' Irish Times
'Everything about Madagascar is surprising', as Dervla Murphy and her fourteen-year-old daughter, Rachel, found to their delight. Despite accidents, misadventures, bemusing contrasts and the political instability of the Great Red Island, they returned with a lasting respect for the kindness of its proud and subtle people.
'This book presents a rare glimpse of the Malagasy peasant life' Spectator
