very interesting look at the world in the middle 1800’s.

(4 Sterne)

A little non-pc at times, but not too offensive if looked at through modern eyes understanding the times. Read the authors wiki article, fascinating courageous lady

(5 Sterne)

A fabulous story. Occasionally, a couple of the readers make it a bit tough to listen to but well worth sticking with it

A well read fascinating travel journey
