 "The sights, smells and colours of Laos practically jump off the pages of this inspired, often wryly witty

"Narrated by Sam Acquillo, a 52-year-old systems engineer who
has opted out of his fast-track life and gone to seed
at his parents' summer cottage . . . the characters are such original oddballs
and their conversation so bracing you want to kick off your shoes and spend some time
on the porch with them, just taking in the view and enjoying the talk."
