I remember reading a review of a book in a british magazine… The book was one of those travel/history books by a modern british author (compared to William Dalrymple’s work, but its not by him). It was about Ethiopia, but other than that I can’t remember ANTHING about it…

Anyone think they know what book I am thinking of ?
