From the Back of the Book.The map of Liberia was virtually blank, the interior marked 'cannibals'. It was a far cry from the literary London of 1935, and the marvellous result of the exploration was Journey without Maps. But the gifted young author was not travelling alone. His twenty three year old cousin Barbara had rashly agreed to go with him, also busy taking notes in the jungle.Too Late to Turn Back contains the humourous, foot-sore and richly evocative African adventure of a young woman who set out from the world of Saki and the Savoy Grill and returned quite profoundly changed.
Having read Journey Without Maps, Graham Greene's book on this same trip, I was thrilled to make the journey again with his cousin Barbara. She gets used to sleeping with rats running around her and when they are down to "tinned" turnips of the food they traveled with she eats everything served. Wonderful escape from 2013 reading.
