Inspired by a journey to Haiti in 1997 and Graham Greene's own portrait of this unique, strange island in The Comedians, Julia Llewellyn Smith, apparently unprepared by life in London, pursued his interest in the most neglected and troubled parts of the world.Following in Greene's footsteps she travelled to places as diverse as Spain, Vietnam and Cuba to see how the passing of time had affected the places brought so vividly to life in his books; to see whether or not the countries he evoked remained beneath any veneer of change.This is travel writing of the most entertaining kind; intelligent, serious, funny and unpredictable.
