Deborah Stone

Freelance writer and editor. I specialise in cruise features, mostly for national newspapers, but I also love writing about Britain, family holidays (increasingly adventure trips) and garden tours (I've got RHS qualifications). I co-wrote Frommer's Wales With Your Family and I'm involved in more writing and editing projects for Frommer's.

"My first sight of Manaus was in darkness. Naked bulbs illuminated vignettes of local life: men fixing fishing nets whose recent catch was dangling from hooks beside simmering pans illuminated by oil lamps in roadside stalls. It was a scene barely touched by the 20th century, never mind the 21st. Like a beckoning beacon, the lights of the ship dominated this scene straight out of the pages of a Joseph Conrad novel: remote, secretive, unknowable, a barrio pressed against a dark interior."
