Summer means travel

Down the Nile: Alone in a Fisherman's Skiff by Rosemary Mahoney

My review

rating: 4 of 5 stars
An excellent, slow paced journey with one woman as she fulfills her quest to row herself down the Nile. As a single woman acting in mostly Muslim Egypt, she faces resistence and challenges peoples' perpectives. A special delight was her meeting with a group of young women. I loved the reflection on other's writings about the Nile, esp Florence Nightingale.

Thanks Christine for this find.
