Chile: Travels In A Thin Country – Sara Wheeler

I don’t know why I sometimes hesitate over reading Sara Wheeler’s travelogues – I always love them.

In Chile: Travels in a Thin Country, we see South America’s thin country from top to bottom (and back up again to Santiago) in the company of 30/31 year old Sara and a collection of Chilean and gringo men (and a scattering if wives and girlfriends), from all walks of life – ex pat and nuns, truckers and policemen, academics and backpackers, Central Valley descendants of conquistadors and descendants of dispossessed Indian tribes.

Wonderful.
