Loved this, thank you! Very happy we seem to be seeing a travel boom. I've been meaning to read Sara Wheeler for ages!

That's great, Tom - I do think Sara Wheeler gets better and better - and I'm very much looking forward to her biography of Jan Morris too. Thanks very much for your kind words too.

Thanks Mary! I was trying to work out which of them are also published in the US- definitely the Robyn Davidson.

Thank you for the link to this article Ann. I am always looking for good travel book reviews and recommendations for my husband. Listened to Sara Wheeler speak about Mud and Stars at the Faversham Literary Festival, just before the pandemic lock down began. Very interesting.
