I’m really enjoying it. Aloha is a natural story-teller. The accompanying photographs are fascinating. I also enjoyed the introductory essays. This book sheds a light on a particular period of time when a young woman traveling alone, or in the company of men she wasn’t related to, was practically unheard of. Much less, to the destinations she reached. The chapter about visiting an Islamic call to prayer disguised as a man was completely spellbinding. I’ve already purchased 4 more copies to give as gifts, and will likely order at least that many more.
