Review
'One of the supreme virtues of Dervla Murphy as a travel writer is that she is human. She needs her drink; she craves her cigarettes; she is capable of losing her temper; she smuggles things through customs. A more virtuous figure would be far less endearing.' -- Daily Telegraph 'Dervla Murphy must be top of the intrepid class: conventional travel writers seem impossibly pallid by contrast.' -- Financial Times 'An admirable woman ! She has a romantic soul and a keen eye' -- Times Literary Supplement 'Dervla Murphy's credentials are more than a brave heart and strong calf muscles ! the fruit of these mature wanderings for my money puts her among the select travel writers of the last two decades.' -- Observer 'Murphy's observation is acute, her self-effacement is disarming' -- Sunday Times
