About this ebook
Laughter in the dark in one of the poorest place on earth
Fast and furious fun in the topsy turvy world of development experts and international high flyers. In a Sorry State follows novice aid worker Faith Cullimore as she blazes a determined trail through the impoverished villages of northern Uganda. She’s only there to help, or so she keeps saying.

"‘Cheaper than flying and you’ll probably see more’." Jane O’Reilly
"‘Lurid, disrespectful and untrue..... A cruel mangling of the facts.’" Ministry of Overseas Development
"‘Rattles along splendidly. See you in court.’" Julian Carruthers
