fireintrouble05 's review for:
Lands of Lost Borders: Out of Bounds on the Silk Road
by Kate Harris
This is the female travelogue I have spent my adult life looking for. The prose is awesome (sometimes it is a bit too much so the book is best digested in small chunks-which is not a complaint. It means I am buying my own copy so I can mark up all the phrases that sung to me with highlighter).
All I want when I pick up travel memoirs by women are folks who get a wild hair to do something that calls to them. They aren't trying to heal, they are just trying to live their life to the fullest and it happens to be a crazy adventure worth writing about. This book wholly met my expectations. It also has a partner in crime, and a little bit of rule breaking, which make for the best kinds of adventures.
