This is a book that we should all read. An inspiring read, about a brave wanderer, who has travelled to many of those dangerous places which we hear of on the news.

Emma Sky, having worked in the Middle East for 20 years, trying to forge peace after the fallout from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, an academic who has taught at Harvard and Yale. As a reader it would be foolish to compare her to any other media sources, such as the news or newspapers with their sensationalism and huge biases.

The pages take you on a mini holiday to see the pyramids of Sudan, meet the locals there, presenting a humane story which we don’t get from the news. Emma deals with some heavy duty topics, which we should not shy away from if we want peace, reading is about challenging yourself too.

This book tackles an interesting but complex topic that not many understand. The writing is well executed in a readily accessible language, this could be a great read.
