And if the writer on the road is a woman?
So much the better, says Govier. Freely, inquisitively, and determinedly, an unprecedented number of women are moving around the globe today. To enjoy a week of anonymity, take a break from domesticity, to make a discovery, their reasons for travel are as numerous as their destinations.
Without a Guide is a remarkable collection of seventeen nonfiction works that explores the variety and nature of contemporary womens travel. Such internationally celebrated names as Margaret Atwood, Ann Beattie, Clare Boylan, Robyn Davidson, Susan Musgrave, E. Annie Proulx, Bapsi Sidhwa, Carol Shields and Alice Walker share the details of their most memorable voyages. Their tales will take you to the urban chaos of Cairo; on an exhilarating 1,700 mile camel trek across the rugged Australian Outback; through the natural splendour of Darwins Galapagos; to the startling heights of Pakistans Indus River gorge and into the day-long darkness of a Northern Finland winter. Seductive, harrowing, but above all enlightening,Without A Guide is a must for lovers of literature and travel.
Without a Guide has been published in the United States, the United Kingdom, Holland and Canada.

Store description
LOWER BEVERLEY BETTER BOOKS is a virtual bookstore operated from a retired teacher's home on the shores of Lower Beverley Lake. It just 'grew' from an interest in antiques,an inability to bypass yard sales and a drive to keep books alive and out of landfill.
