The Mango Orchard is a book about Robin Bayley's journey in his great-grandfather's footsteps around Latin America. Robin had always loved the stories about his great-grandfather’s adventures: brushes with bandits, wild jungle journeys, hidden bags of silver and a narrow escape from the Mexican Revolution. But there was something in these family tales that he felt was missing: the truth.
'This is a fine romance, in every sense of the word.' The Times
'The Mango Orchard is a modern road movie, full of humour and emotion... It is a beautiful human adventure, beyond all differences and prejudices.' Livres Hebdo (France)
‘a family chronicle as exciting as the best adventure stories… a moving account of two memorable and timeless journeys.' ELLE France
‘Sharply observed, very funny, and infused with the longings and possibilities of the road, it’s a succulent tale.' Wanderlust Magazine
'... a pure pleasure.' Independent on Sunday
