    4.0 out of 5 stars A great introduction to Freya's travels
    Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2015

    Freya's descriptions of places and people she encounters in her travels through the Middle East entrance and inform. She clearly loves the landscapes and the adventure. Her travels could not be duplicated today because the world has changed drastically since then, which makes this a valuable record. The book is truly an "echo" from a time long gone, as well as from her own memories of her travels. I return to some passages again and again. However, I only gave it four stars because it would be more satisfying if it had more of the continuity of the pieces from which the selections were taken. It is frustrating to be drawn into a setting and narrative, only to jump abruptly to another one without any sense of an actual "journey". That said, now I want to read some of the actual full-length journeys - some, not all. These selections did serve to show me which of the complete journals I would like to read. Perfect to unwind with at the end of the day.

    5.0 out of 5 stars What a beautiful book
    Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2007
    It is too bad that the book has gone out of print, because new generations will no longer find the experience the earthly beauty in her writing and the rare sensitivity in her perceptions of people, events and geography. As so:

    "As we rode back, and the valley lay shining before us with the mounds of its cemeteries or habitations perhaps plainly visible under the folds of the ground, the great age of the world seemed to be revealed with a sudden poignancy: here men had wandered for thousands of years, their origin and their end unknown. Their dead lie thicker than the living amid these hills."
