Spanning continents and decades, Places and Faces is a candid, fast-paced memoir tracing the unconventional path of a man determined to live life on his own terms. From sun-bleached surf in Bondi to freezing winters in London and late-night street encounters in Bangkok to the quiet pull of home, Andrew Maclean reflects on a lifetime of travel, odd jobs, misadventures, and moments of unexpected beauty. Each chapter opens a window into a world seen through the eyes of a restless spirit with an eye for human detail and an appetite for experience.

Andrew Maclean has lived mostly in Australia and travelled through America, Asia and Europe. He’s done a variety of jobs while never having any really well-paid work. He’s experimented with his life, had his ups and downs, but generally enjoyed the journey. He’s found writing this book one of life’s pleasures. He appreciates the simple things in life, like seeing an echidna survive crossing a four-lane highway, as described in this memoir.
