The Robber of Memories: A River Journey Through Colombia by Michael Jacobs
4.0
Read for Booktube-a-thon 2018 for the challenge "read a book about something you want to do", since I want to travel in Spanish-speaking parts of South America.
I generally enjoy travel literature, and I enjoyed reading about the landscape, people, history and politics of Colombia, but the highlights for me were the author's discussions of Alzheimer's, his father's diaries and his mother's dementia. This book was much sadder than I expected, but still a pleasure to read.
