Here is a selection of books we recommend relating to Mexico:
The Mango Orchard - Robin Bayley
The Mango OrchardThis charming and personal account of Robin's quest to find unknown family in Mexico paints a vivid picture of his travels though Latin America, as he retraces his great-grandfather's steps from Lancashire to a remote western village in north west Mexico. A tear is brought to the eye as Robin happily finds a whole village of relatives eager to welcome him into their lives and the fact that he finds love in Guatemala along the way only adds to the romance of the story.
