Description
Travels in a Dervish Cloak is a humorous and poignant travelogue that takes readers to the heart of Pakistan. Isambard Wilkinson's journey, sparked by stories of his grandmother's Anglo-Indian heritage, seeks to uncover the essence of a country torn apart by conflict. As Wilkinson travels through the country, he encounters charismatic tribal leaders, hereditary saints, gangster bosses, and ecstatic Muslim pilgrims, each with their own story to tell. With an open-hearted delight and a lust for life, Wilkinson parties his way to the remotest corners, never letting his fragile health deter him. This book jacket promises a candid and entertaining account of life on the frontline, full of vivid characters and a sense of wonder.
