Synopsis:

In 1992, Lucy Rees's journey on horseback across Arizona became a quest for spiritual enlightenment. A carving of a Cretan maze near Tintagel in Cornwall had always fascinated Lucy's companion Rick. In Arizona they were surprised to find from an illustration in a book, that this same carving could be found on a rock on one of three barren mesas in north-east Arizona where the last remaining Hopi native Americans had built their villages. The search for the maze announced itself as the purpose of their journey. But beyond their shared love of wild places, and this finishing point, they had a third, less clear purpose, an agenda only gradually revealed to them as events unfolded. They entered upon this journey in a spirit of exploration knowing that somewhere there was a centre, but uncertain as to what it was or what mysteries it might uncover.

Review: "Rees' intrepid wilderness journey becomes an enlightening spiritual quest. The Maze is a must for nature readers."--Anne LaBastille, author of Woodswoman "Rees writes ravishingly of man's relationship with the natural world. . . . On one level, [it] is a travel book for horse lovers; but it is also, marvelously, a book about contemplation and the ability of some travellers to connect truly with the land."--The Times, London
