Squirting Milk at Chameleons

I have a house in the village of Ab?n? and Simon's account of life there is spot on. From having spent time in Africa I see that here in the West with our analytical mind-set and an almost permanent belief that we understand how life works, we actually understand nothing at all! Simon shares his journey with us, he shares his courage, vulnerability, and his faith. His story is an example of what life is really about. This book is a great and easy read and is a must for anyone wanting to understand the mystical side of Africa through a Westerner's eyes. Highly recommended!
Resembling something of a 21st century everyman, Simon Fenton leaves behind the disappointments of his life in England, in search of something more. Having slogged his way through the barren wastes of the Sahara, he emerges on the other side, in the apparently paradisiacal tropical region of Casamance in Senegal. Inevitably - and entertainingly - his pursuit of love, fatherhood, and a new life, doesn't always go to plan.Written in clear, straight forward, easy to read prose, it's the kind of book that you can speed through in no time. If you've ever fantasised about leaving it all behind, to pursue a life less ordinary, then this comes highly recommended.
