A great book!

This is the adventure of an Irish mother-daughter traveling team as they wander across Cameroon with their horse, Egbert. Their long, beautiful, exasperating tale will cause you to laugh and learn. Cameroon is a beautiful and colorful country with incredibly varied geography and cultures. My Cameroonian husband tended to scoff at the things I read to him from the book, but as a foreigner I found this book incredibly insightful and helpful.
