"If someone made up Freya Stark you wouldn't believe her. This is biographical writing at its best. Freya comes to life, the time she lived in is vividly illuminated and since so much of it formulated the Middle East we are dealing with today it is absorbing. Well-written, well-researched and a good read."
"This book was inspiring. Freya Stark had to cobble together an education which was my no means "premier", learned several languages under her own study, and was an amazing hiker - one of the few women to climb Mount Blanc in that era. She shows that there are no barriers and that anything can be done ... she must have had an iron will."
