He has some very interesting things to say about privilege and his realisation of him having it as a white, American man living in Ecuador. If I am going to write this review, I would like to start by focusing on the themes which were developed and woven into the ‘story’ (if I can call it that) so well. I have been trying to read more books set in or focusing on Latin America, and with this one being set across Ecuador, the US and some other Latin American countries he visits, this helped me on that journey. In the end I actually chose to read non-fiction! And I am so glad that I did, because Dennehy has had a very interesting life, this one almost read like fiction, and I learned so so much. When I first read the synopsis for this book, I mistakenly thought it fiction. ![]()
