I agree with the previous review at bwl 47. However, whilst Andy’s bonding with donkey Gribouille on their trek through the Auvergne is gentle and lovely, reinforcing what a wonderful creature a donkey is, his descriptions of mistreated donkeys in Egypt and Morocco and reviews of similar atrocities in the literature make for hard reading. A book of contrasts and I can’t make my mind up about it.
