Among Muslims: Meetings at the Frontiers of Pakistan by Kathleen Jamie
4.0
Gorgeous writing -- evocative but also very simple. Jamie is so generous to the people she meets--and a great example of how women travel writers get to see a lot more, as they have access to both male and female spaces.
This was first published in 1992 (this edition has a new foreword and epilogue, added in 2002), I guess back when a travel book could be just a description of travels, and didn't have to be a massive inner journey too. It's so rare to read any travel book, especially one by a woman, that doesn't have some justification at the beginning. She just goes. Ahhh.
