Review Quotes:
'Goodbye Buenos Aires is multifaceted; part travel book, part biography, part novel. Its use of a migrant's life as a means of analysing Argentine history is entertaining, and the account of a man's travails in establishing a new life far from home is ... extremely moving.' Times Literary Supplement
'... an elegy to an immigrant who lived through a turbulent swathe of Argentine history.' London Magazine
'... full of observational gems and metaphors which pithily sum up the strange mindset of many Anglo-Argentines ...' Glasgow Herald
