So Far from God
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
A truly great travel narrative. Mr. Marnham's eye for absurdity is one of his great strengths as a writer, and this journey showcases it well. But it's the compassion and gentle fascination with the places he visits and people he meets that really shine through and round out the story. The portrait of the civil war in El Salvador is especially illuminating. It's a shame that this book is not more widely known.
