so-soRealised I forgot to review this when I finished it last week. Meh - it was OK in parts…very ‘boy‘s own adventure‘, James Bondesque true story from a spy just after WWI.
However, it inevitably involved a lot of politics and half the time I couldn‘t actually understand what was going on, plus he didn‘t seem to achieve a great deal.
Never mind, that‘s the last of those pesky Stans ticked off the #readingasias2021 list! #uzbekistan

Sovietistan: A Journey Through Turkmenistan, Kasakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistanrockpools @squirrelbrain oooh, thank you Helen! I looked at her other book, The Border, last week, and decided that 600 pages might be a little ambitious right now! And yes. I was checking the recycling bins this morning to make sure a PCR test hadn‘t been delivered‘to a safe place‘ 🙄 - so thank you! Much as I love the postal service, I do have issues with certain postpeople 😬- the hiding stuff I can live with. The origami envelopes wind me right up!! 3y
squirrelbrain Yeah, I‘m not sure I‘d read another book by her. I liked this one but it felt like a loooong book! @rockpools 3y
