A Journey Around Syria
8:40am Thursday 19th January 2012 in Music / Books By Maggie Hartford
Travel writer Mary Russell, who lives in West Oxford, has been travelling around Syria for ten years.
She describes her experiences, encountering animal sacrifice in Palmyra, cycling along the Euphrates, riding a camel among Roman ruins in My Home Is Your Home: A Journey Round Syria (Bullstake Press, £14.95). She has added a postscript about the present political situation.
