    About this ebook

    Accompanied by her daughter Rachel and a loveable horse named Egbert, Dervla Murphy journeys across Cameroon, discovering a land of astonishing natural beauty and friendliness. Dervla and Rachel are frequently mistaken by the locals for husband and wife during their time in the country, leading on one occasion to Dervla exposing her chest as proof of her femininity. They are, by turns arrested, drenched by tropical storms and burnt by the hot African sun. Yet at the heart of this account is the two women’s endearing charm, and their fondness for the amiable, laid-back Cameroonians with whom they become well acquainted.
