Travel reporting at its best

Georgie Anne Geyer is one of the world's great intrepid reporters. She has logged hundreds of days and miles throughout Eurasia in the last three decades. In this poignant book, she arrives in Central Asia (including Tatarstan) during the moment of its liberation from the Soviet Empire. Few observers could capture both the intoxication and ambiguity of this moment so well. Her keen eye for the nuances of culture and politics are, as always, evident in this small masterpiece.
