Cherry Briggs discovers the the writings of an eccentric Victorian writer and explorer - James Emmerson Tennant - and decides to follow his footsteps before she leaves her teaching job in Sri Lanka. The unmarried, and childless Briggs is the object of mirth and pity of the Sinhalese,she journeys around the Teardrop Island, inadvisably for her, but entertainingly for us on public transport. With the civil war recently ended and the effects of the devastating tsunami as ever present context Briggs entertains and educates. Her hapless inability to select decent guides or drivers results in her taking us vicariously to places we would never reach otherwise.Not to be read if your offspring are contemplating a gap year in Ceylon.
