The Cruel Way (Virago/Beacon Travelers)

Rating:
Summary: the ancestor of the adventure book
Review: If you liked Into Thin Air or The Perfect Storm, search out all of Ella Maillart's books. She was a female adventurer back when women didn't even travel to civilized places, much less uncivilized ones. Her books are inspiring to read. I'm amazed at all the places she sought out around the globe. What a woman!
