Books

I have just finished reading these two books, which are both really interesting. Selling Olga focuses on the problems that living in poverty creates and the often unthinkable solutions that people choose to endure, or are forced to endure, internationally. Dark Heart is similar, however focusses mainly on England. While they are both similer in terms of their focus, they are written in completely different styles, Selling Olga seems quite 'personal' as Waugh writes about her experiences researching the book, whereas Dark Heart is mainly based on the dialogue between Davies and the various people he talks to.
