About the Book

In the final part of his autobiographical trilogy Chris McIvor relates the story of his years in Morocco, and explores the challenges and contradictions of being an aid worker. Later as the country director of an international charity in Cuba, Haiti and Jamaica Chris finds himself moving behind the gloss of tourism that conceals much of the reality of the Caribbean. In this final volume, Chris also comes to question why he has lived the way he has, his career fulfilling a need to keep moving, and stay solitary.

About the Author :
Chris McIvor is the author of two previous memoirs, A Bend in the Nile and In the Old Chief's Country. For many years he has worked in Developemnt in Africa, previously as Country Director for Save the Children in Mozambique, now for the same charity in Egypt.

Review :
'If every one of us were like Chris McIvor the world would be a far better and less troubled place. That is not just down to the work that he does to help humanity. It is also in the way he embraces and describes the world that he experiences. Superb read and a must for all of us. '-The Bookbag; '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 Review
