Description
Lois Pryce's travelogue is a joyful and moving account of her 3,000 mile motorcycle ride through Iran. In 2011, at a time of heightened tension between the British and Iranian governments, Pryce received a note on her motorcycle outside the Iranian Embassy in London, inviting her to visit the country. Despite official warnings, she set off alone on her journey, determined to uncover the heart of this complex and incongruous nation. Along the way, Pryce met a diverse range of people, from carpet sellers and drug addicts to war veterans and housewives, all living ordinary lives under the strict rule of an Islamic government. Her story is one of a people and a country, where religious and hedonistic, practical and poetic, modern and rooted in tradition coexist. With a wild sense of humour and appreciation of beauty, Pryce's account offers a unique glimpse into contemporary Iran.
