In the grand tradition of intrepid solo travel writing, Christina Dodwell mounts her horse and rides through the rugged, ancient landscapes of Eastern Turkey and Iran — territories where few Western women had dared to venture alone. A Traveller on Horseback chronicles her extraordinary journey through remote mountain villages, across sweeping plateaus, and into the lives of the warm yet guarded communities she encounters along the way, painting a vivid portrait of a world rarely seen by outsiders. Dodwell writes with the fearless authority of a seasoned explorer, threading sharp observational wit through richly atmospheric prose that captures both the physical grandeur of the terrain and the complex humanity of its people. Her narrative sits at the intersection of adventure memoir and cultural reportage, presenting an unflinching yet deeply empathetic account of two nations defined by history, faith, and fierce pride. For anyone drawn to the road less travelled, this account leaves one question unanswered: how far would you ride to truly understand a place?
