A brilliantly written adventure from a new travel writing talent, Rebecca Lowe. Rich with character, the adventure recounts the lives and lands as diverse as Egypt, Sudan, the Gulf states and Iran, giving us miles of knowledge and stereo-type busting discovery. Listen to her account of that year-long journey, which paints a living portrait of the Middle East through its people, its politics and its history, and challenges much of the perceived wisdom about this region of the world. This event is part of the Lit Fest Boundaries season.
