Anthony Sattin, Sunday Times, London, UK
It's not every day you survive an earthquake in Indonesia, annoy David Bowie in a New York elevator or whip the male guests at an all-night party in Outer Mongolia. But these are not everyday stories. These are great tales of survival, adventure and discovery...a celebration of fine travel writing... and of these women authors. Inspirational.
Anthony Sattin, Sunday Times, London, UK
Excellent fourth anthology of women's writing from Rough Guides...beautifully written offerings from the likes of Kathleen Jamie, Isabella Tree and Sara Wheeler...women travel writers have arrived in a big way.
The Irish Times, 27 November 1999, Dublin, Ireland
What all [the contributors] have in common is that vital ring of truth, which makes reading this anthology like receiving letters from friends travelling abroad.
Kansai Time Out, March 2000, Tokyo, Japan
In its own way very practical ... highly recommended ... great strategies ... among the best of travel writing.
