Thubron took me on another long, fascinating journey. This time we follow some 7,000 miles of the old silk route, starting in the heart of China. This is a 21st century traveller meeting the ancient world. It is full of (mis)adventures, endurance and compassion, all of which are described in his beautiful writing. This book benefits from time set aside for a longer read - rather than a page or two at bedtime - if possible.
