The Golden Horde

This book follows on from [b:The Afghan Amulet: Travels from the Hindu Kush to Razgrad 4330868 The Afghan Amulet Travels from the Hindu Kush to Razgrad Sheila Paine https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1396984386s/4330868.jpg 282443] in her search for to origins of an amulet bought in a London shop.She is certainly brave, undertaking some tough travel and certainly against the recommendations of others (not to mention the legal requirements of visas and closed routes). Despite being injured a couple of times she sticks with it.I like the organisation of the book - the short chapters following the route of the journeys, and like the previous book, despite being about an embroidered amulet, the book contains enough about the travel, the people, the culture and the history to keep the interest.Not quite an varied as the first, probably a 3.5 for me.
