The extraordinary new book from the bestselling author, a richly illustrated travel adventure across the island nation. Illustrated throughout with colour photographs taken on the trip, and brimming with wry humour and fascinating insights, this is a vivid and varied portrait of a complex country.
In the course of Michaelās epic journey he gets to see the Philippines archipelago in all its beauty, variety and many paradoxes. He meets some of the warmest and friendliest people he has ever encountered. And at the very end, he finds himself as close to the Marcos family as itās possible to get ā in a meeting that he never thought possible.
