This book, by Irish storyteller Keith Corcoran, is part fascinating trip to some of the most remote and unspoilt parts of the world and part soul searching quest for a deeper understanding of the human condition.
It is interlaced with comic situations the author gets himself into, yet suspense, tragedy, supernatural encounters, danger and romance are also woven into the pages of this special journey.
His wry, understated description of the difficulties of travelling alone or with travellers is often very entertaining. His accounts also reflect the inherent kindness in people he meets, who care, support, or offer wisdom as he travels. Whether staying with a Northern Cheyenne family on a reservation in Montana or meeting a young Tibetan monk in Katmandu, he is ever curious to see how others see their role in the world.
It is an often madcap quest to explore how important and resilient the human spirit is in creating a better world for us all and a celebration of travelling for the sheer wonder and experience of it. This journey is sure to stay with you long after you read it.
