Murphy presents a candid portrait of Laos as it is today. Contrary to what the other reviewers have to say, she is a good observer and writes accurately. As a Lao, I can say that is true. The book is enjoyable.The only problem with Murphy's writing is her quaint outlook that bemoans even benign development. It seems she'd be happiest in a world without cars, television or money. Unfortunately she will not find that in Laos or anywhere else, though she may keep travelling and keep trying.
