This was a lovely belated Christmas present: a full-page review of Fiesta in the latest issue of the esteemed Times Literary Supplement.

Many thanks to the TLS and Nat Segnit for a review which calls the book “affecting and articulate.”

There are no more iconic names in the world of travel and exploration than the @RGS_IBG, so it’s a huge honour to be giving a talk for them at my old university, @officialuom, next Tuesday (9th) at 4:15pm.

If you're in Manchester, do come – it's free!
