Lands of Lost Borders: A Journey on the Silk Road

I really enjoyed Kate Harris' memoir of her bike journey along the Silk Road. I think the part I enjoyed the most was that it isn't just a recounting of the journey itself, but also her insights into culture, people and the impact of borders that she has along the way. She writes about her contemplations during her journey and I liked the humanity that shone through at those moments and the poetic nature of her thoughts. The book was a bit slow to get going, but once it hits its stride, I was turning pages faster and faster. The journey pushes her in body and mind and I admire her perseverance and courage to do it. If you like travel, adventure and journey's of the soul, this one is highly recommended.
