The Last Secrets Of The Silk Road: Four Girls Follow Marco Polo Across 5,000 Miles by Alexandra Tolstoy (2003-03-27) by Alexandra Tolstoy
I absolutely admire the spirit, and the courage of the four young ladies who made this journey. This is exceptional. It also shows how important it is to get sponsors for such trips, and to plan well.
Having said that, the book was not the most interesting read. I did not get any insight into the places they visited, nor was there any real reference to Marco Polo through the book.
Hats off to them for the journey, but not a book I would recommend.
