Why read it?
1 author picked Mornings in Mexico as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love this book because Lawrence is one of the great travel writers. His highly individual style of writing, so full of energy and life, makes Mexico in the 1920s come alive. In the marvellous opening chapter you are with him in his Mexican garden, seeing what he sees, smelling what he smells, hearing what he hears.

From Nicholas' list on the spirit of a country for the traveller.
