N2  - "For two thousand years the Silk Road across Central Asia was the great trade route between East and West. Four girls, friends from university, made a unique eight-month, 5,000-mile journey by horse and camel along it, through some of the least-known and most beautiful regions of the world, still largely untouched. This book by one of that intrepid team of riders tells the story of their memorable journey." "Alexandra Tolstoy's absorbing book records the extremes of landscape and climate (and cuisine), the people they met, the guides who helped (or hindered) them, friendships and tensions, camaraderie and adventures, and not least, the trusting and wilful animals who made it all possible."--BOOK JACKET
