When Philip Marsden first went to Ethiopia in 1982, it changed the direction of his life. What he saw of its astonishing antiquity, its raw medieval Christianity, its extremes of brutality and grace produced in him a restless curiosity and made him a writer. But Ethiopia at that time was torn apart by civil war, and the ancient heartland of the north was closed off. 20 years later,Marsden returned and the book is the account of a journey deferred. L.
