Chance to win a copy of The Nine Horizons
Another book giveaway, global this time; please do enter for a chance to win between now and June 23. One reviewer wrote of The Nine Horizons: Travels in Sundry Places:
"I've never really read a travel memoir quite like this one. Mike Robbins describes the locations of the character's travels in a way that not only paints a vivid picture, but like a beautiful art film he also gives it a lighting and temperature that tone his mood and awe."

War tour: The incredible journey of Ève Curie
In 1943 Ève Curie's Journey Among Warriors nearly won a Pulitzer. It is one of the best pieces of reportage to come out of the Second World War, and includes vivid descriptions of the Russian Front, the Burma retreat, the fighting in the Western Desert, and wartime China. She met Nehru, Gandhi, Chiang Kai-Shek, Chou En-Lai, Wavell, Auchinleck and countless others. But the book has vanished; forgotten, and never reprinted. Why? The astonishing journey of Ève Curie - concert pianist, journalist, humanitarian and diplomat.
