Before reading this book my knowledge of Chile was virtually nonexistent. The media where I am from, the east coast of the United States, in terms of foreign countries, tends to focus on Europe, particularly the UK. And that is probably because the United Kingdom is an English-speaking nation, and our closest ally.Therefore, when I stumbled upon this book, it aroused my curiosity about what it might be like to visit a country like Chile, which, the way the author Thomas Baker describes it, sounds like an interesting part of the world. The author writes with a lot of passion and descriptive prose, a first-rate wordsmith, in my opinion. I recommend this book, especially if you are interested in learning about new cultures.
