Summary: Eric Hansen captures the flavor of Yemen.
Comment: I read this book shortly after returning from my own trip to Yemen with my husband and children. Eric Hansen caught the spirit of the people and presents it to his readers without falling into that all-too-common trap of criticizing that which he may have found unpleasant.
I learned much about Yemen by reading this book and asking my husband about it later. I still refer to chapters in his book when discussing world events with friends.
I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys exploring forgotten lands, and for anyone who is happy tagging along for an interesting cab ride around the beautiful land that was once part of the ancient Kingdom of Sheba.
It's easy to become entranced by the people and their way of life, and Eric Hansen presents it well.
Enjoy....

Summary: Great country, great book!
Comment: This is without doubt the best travelogue I've ever read, and I've been recommending it to everyone I meet since the day I put it down, which was, incidentally, the same day I picked it up! The book's unhurried style fits in very well with what I know of Yemen, and with my experience of the "insh'allah" culture, and Yemen is such a varied and fascinating place that Hanson has great material to work with. I guess it is an indication of the quality of the work that Yemen has crept up to the top of my "Go to" list : a desire increased because so many Yemen veterans have it at the top of their "return to" list. Not to mention that qat sounds worth a nibble......
