An interesting account of the author's time as an English teacher in Eretria. The book's not just a personal account, however. It's also a history of Eretria's conflict with neighbouring Ethiopia - quite a potted history, admittedly, but very readable and deeply horrifying. I finished this book even more convinced than usual of my general ignorance; I'd no idea at all of what had happened there.
