Passionate Nomad: The Life of Freya Stark by Jane Fletcher Geniesse

4.0

After reading this fascinating biography, it's hard to believe that so few of us have ever heard of Freya Stark. I read it while traveling in Israel and it was so easy to imagine this tiny, confident woman bravely setting out to explore the Middle East, nearly 100 years ago! If you have a sense of wanderlust and independence that needs a bit of a boost, and you like biographies, it's well worth a read.
