Too late to turn back

Barbara Green

Published by Penguin books, softcover

It had been Graham Greene's idea to explore tropical West Africa.

The map of Liberia was virtually blank, the interior marked `Cannibals'. It was a far cry from the literart' London of 1935, and the marvelous result of the exploration was Journey Without Maps. But the gifted young author was not travelling alone. His twenty-three-
year-old cousin Barbara had rashly agreed to go with him and, unbeknown to him, was also busy making notes in the jungle.

Too Late to Turn Back contains the humorous, foot-sore and richly evocative African adventure of a young woman who set out from the world of Saki and the Savoy Grill
and returned quite profoundly changed.
