‘As a travel guide, the book is most valuable when it describes places most tourists wouldn't get to see or evokes the tedium of living for long periods in a location that at first seems exotic. McIvor's unique perspective as a clear-eyed aid worker has value.’
-Kirkus Reviews
In the final part of his autobiographical trilogy Chris McIvor relates the story of his years in Morocco, his encounter with its history, geography and culture told through the people he met and the places he visited. This book is also an exploration of the rewards, challenges and contradictions of being an aid worker in a foreign country, a theme further pursued when he later moves to the islands of Cuba, Haiti and Jamaica in the Caribbean as the country director of an international charity.
