In Siberia

Author: Colin Thubron
Stars: 5
Review by: Little Red Hen
Destination: Siberia

This is another in my hot summer/cold reading choices. I read it with a huge National Geographic map, although the front and end papers have a drawing of the territory the author covered. Traveling by train, foot,  & truck his descriptions of this large mass of land, the people he finds, the places he descends into are rich, poetry really. If you were not sighted and heard this book, the experience would guide you through a place of mystery and misery. Colin Thubron was searching for what remained after the Stalin years, was there faith, tradition? This is one adventure I am happy to have in my armchair.
