Which I did and I wholeheartedly agree with Lynne Patrick's enthusiastic review. I thought it was an excellent book. True, there is a great deal of violence, verbal and physical, and the depiction of Kyrgyz society is grim but the writing is so good and in places so beautiful that it held me the whole way through. Endearingly, the author in a postscript not only praises the kindness of the Kyrgyz people but recommends a hotel in Bishtek and an ecotours travel company! And according to The Guardian (December 2015) it is the latest hot destination for mountaineering holidays!Radmila Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15033645348006864827noreply@blogger.com
