Been wondering where to post this? It's not really 'arts and entertainment'  :-[

Oops! EDIT: Just learnt it was only available for one day yesterday - Ms Murphy's 90th birthday

Very interesting. I really want to read her Northern Ireland book.

I read it years ago; it's really good.

I've read and owned a few of her books.

Her book on the Balkans was interesting, as a cycle touring book. Fascinating in giving a balanced description of the politics of the region over the past few hundred years.

Oh, that's a shame, I started watching and it looked really good.

I'd like to think her books inspired my travels, but sadly I only read them more recently and they only inspired me to go again and see things in a different light.

I read Cameroon with Egbert many years ago, and seem to remember enjoying it.
