The first major collection of travel pieces from the bestselling author of Stolen Continents reveals the world to us—from Belize to Egypt—in all it’s comedy, strangeness and humanity. Home and Away is a marvellous mix of adventure and observation, antique civilizations, contemporary politics and irresistible storytelling.
