Well, I finished it. That was more a tribute to my desire to learn more about Portugal than the book. It was well written but more "The Compleat Angler" redux than information about Portugal and its people.
Essays on aspects of Portugal and Portuguese culture. The author's point of view was at times condescending and misogynistic.
