Lands of Lost Borders: A Journey on the Silk Road by Kate Harris
4.0
On the plus side:
-Cycling the Silk Road is an incredible adventure and accomplishment by the author and her friend. Harris is an excellent writer and her descriptions of landscapes, people, feelings, interactions, food, and experiences put you right there in the midst of it.
-Female explorers doing awesome stuff - what's not to love?
-Being a species/enviro nerd, I enjoyed the thread relating to wildlife conservation and protected areas. Harris and her friend visited some extraordinary places and met with people doing important work in the hardest of conditions.
But...:
-I would not recommend the audiobook. I found the narrator offputting, especially when she tried to read with accents - everyone just sounded like an angry Russian. Go for the written word on this one.
