A Lady Cyclist's Guide to Kashgar by Suzanne Joinson

3.0

I liked this book it was nothing amazing but just a nice poetic story spanning two time lines 1920s and present day. One is about the notes from Eva on her guide which I found heartfelt and you feel her fear of the unknown from that time and also being a missionary in country that didn’t want you. Friedas story is also a good plot with tayeb who turns outside her flat one night homeless and they become friends I won’t spoil it on how this happens but I felt that sometimes it was his story too which I liked and it all connected nicely at the end. I did feel that maybe these could have been two different books but maybe the author felt that was not the way she wanted go I especially thought this about Eva’s story with the historical side to it, which could have developed more. But all in all a nice enjoyable read
