Reader Reviews:
A very approachable book (16/16 people found this helpful)
This is a well-written mix of science (the lemurs) the people of this area of south Madagascar (the Lords)and some history, developmental politics,etc. The author has been visiting the country for decades and writes an engaging personal story travelling through the years, the issues and the history.I was particularly impressed with her forthright views on local politics, unusually bold by the standards of travel writers. However she is more than an observant traveller. Well worth reading.
