I have read books by Author Thomas Baker in the past and have never been disappointed. He is the Coordinator of an English Department at a High School in Chile, and after reading this book you can tell that he must be an excellent English teacher.  His way with words is beautiful. He mixes facts, humor and storytelling that takes my breath away, makes me laugh, and if you are not careful, will make you cry with the intense love he expresses for Chile. In this book Thomas Baker tells the reader that he is in love with Chile, and his aim is to share that with the reader. This memoir is a love story of a man and a country. Thomas Baker has been living in Chile for 12 years and does not intend to ever leave the country. He talks about aspects of his life in Chile, not as a tourist or travel guide, but from the viewpoint of personal experience. He is telling his story. He includes information about Chile's people, its landscapes, language, culture, history, food, music, dance, wine and tourist attractions. He also tells how he got to Chile. This book is very unique, and it will make you want to see Chile for yourself. I recommend this book for anyone who is thinking about traveling to Chile. The book is very informative and funny at the same time. As I said before, this is a love story about a man and a country, Thomas Baker & his Chile. I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review. If possible, I would give this book 10 stars, but only 5 stars is the maximum.
