Muddling Through in Madagascar [Idioma Inglés] - Softcover

‘A travel writer of rare heart and freshness’
Observer

‘Dervla Murphy belongs firmly to that fine tradition of eccentric women travellers... endearingly self-deprecating’
Spectator

Dervla Murphy and her daughter discover the warmth and charm of the Malagasy people on the fascinating and little-explored island of Madagascar.

‘Both a revelatory look at a richly mysterious country and a traveller’s tale that keeps its grip every bump of the way’ Irish Times

‘Everything about Madagascar is surprising’, as Dervla Murphy and her fourteen-year-old daughter, Rachel, found to their delight. Despite accidents, misadventures, bemusing contrasts and the political instability of the Great Red Island, they returned with a lasting respect for the kindness of its proud and subtle people.

‘This book presents a rare glimpse of the Malagasy peasant life’ Spectator
