‘An admirable woman... she has a romantic soul and a keen eye’
Times Literary Supplement
Seasoned travel writer Dervla Murphy’s wonderful portrait of Nepal and the Nepalese.
With familiar wit and wisdom, indomitable travel writer Dervla Murphy affectionately portrays the people of Nepal’s different tribes, the customs of an ancient, complex civilization and the country’s natural grandeur and beauty.
Finding work in a Tibetan refugee camp, Dervla makes her home in a tiny, vermin-infested room. In diary form she describes her work amongst the refugees and her travels, which take her by bicycle and on foot into the remote regions bordering Tibet.
Murphy’s charm and sensitivity as a traveller and writer reveal not only the vitality of an ancient culture facing the challenges of western civilization, but the wonder and excitment of her adventures.
