Description

Harriet Sandys' memoir recounts her remarkable journey along the Silk Road. In the 1980s, she defied expectations to travel and work in war zones, often without financial or practical support. Her experiences took her from Afghanistan to Bosnia Herzegovina, where she worked with refugees and witnessed firsthand the devastating effects of conflict. Sandys' story is one of courage and determination, as she navigated treacherous situations and overcame numerous challenges. From setting up a silk weaving project for illiterate refugees to surviving life-threatening illnesses, her journey is a testament to her resilience and compassion. This book offers a unique perspective on the conflicts in Afghanistan and Bosnia Herzegovina, one that focuses on the experiences of a young woman from a privileged background. With its vivid account of war zones and humanitarian work, it provides a fresh insight into this often-overlooked aspect of recent history.
