This story traces Dervla Murphy's trek through the remote highlands of Ethiopia. Foreigners were not encouraged to travel alone through Ethiopia's remote regions, and it was against official advice that Dervla Murphy planned her highland trek in 1966. She set out from the Red Sea coast for Addis Ababa. In general, the highlanders were hospitable and, as the weeks passed, she realized that her total dependence on them and her increasing familiarity with their strange ways were breaking down the original barriers. Other works by the same author include Full Tilt, Where the Indus is Young, Tibetan Foothold, On a Shoestring to Coorg and Eight Feet in the Andes
