Seller's Description:
Reader copy. Paperback-not ex-library. Published in 1997 by Picador, London. Covers have some creases otherwise a good, clean copy. Ready for immediate despatch from UK.
Disapointing to say the least. The author is more concerned about her inter personal relationships with the inhabitants and tends to dwell uneccessarily on her misfortunes and insecurities. Distinct lack of historical and factual details considering the unique opportunity that she had to provide to gather information and provide a worthwhile read. No substance - a poor book.
