ReviewsUser reviewsUser Review - Flag as inappropriate Christine Osborne has a way with words to take you with her in the 1960s across North Africa, innocently wearing her little sundress to the fascinating market places in many towns and cities of the Middle East, some of which she has re-visited more recently. And what changes have taken place in those years. The author writes of a time when tourism had yet to become the huge industry of today. The letters home to her mother have a special poignancy. User Review - Flag as inappropriate Christine Osborne’s “Travels with my Hat” is remarkable, covering the world of Islam from the Atlantic Coast of Morocco to the borderlands of Asia. It is a multi-layered work, encompassing the history, traditions and people of each nation plus, of course, the sheer joy of experiencing the different and unexpected through the author?s discerning eyes. User Review - Flag as inappropriate As well as displaying an impressive knowledge of mid-Eastern cultures, the author's daring and courage in exploring this region make Travels with My Hat absorbing reading! User Review - Flag as inappropriate Magnificent book. Insightful, moving and extremely well written. I congratulate the author on this wonderful achievement and urge everyone to read what will I'm sure come to be regarded as one of the best books of 2014. If you love travel, are interested in the lives of strong, independent women or have ever dreamed of what it would be like to make a living as an international photographer, you will enjoy Travels with My Hat. | All reviews - 4 5 stars - 3 4 stars - 0 3 stars - 0 2 stars - 0 1 star - 0 Unrated - 1 All reviews - 4 Editorial reviews - 0 User reviews - 4 All reviews - 4 |
