Description

Silverland charts Dervla Murphy's extraordinary expedition through the snowscapes of Far Eastern Russia. A seasoned adventurer, she embarks on a mid-winter journey that takes her beyond Siberia to the furthest corners of Russia.

Along the way, she discovers a strange and fascinating world of lynx and elks, indigenous tribes and shamanism, reindeer broth and taiga-berry pie. Her travels take her along the coal-fuelled slow-train, where she meets a host of colourful characters who invite her into their homes for lively fireside debates over steaming cups of sweet tea.

A warm and insightful account of one woman's journey, Silverland is a truly original story that showcases Murphy's unique perspective on the world around her.
