" Colin Thubron is in song as he describes the tough mountain road and the remorseless landscape. His frequent lapses into the trauma of his personal losses accentuates the toughness of the terrain he portrays. Super read, unputdownable. The passes, the peaks, the pilgrims, the prayers, the police, the porters, the pellucid lakes - wish I could journey like him one day. "
