Women of Adventure
I read a review of this book in an Australian newspaper and felt that I just had to have it.

Completely Absorbing
Normally fairly eloquent, sometimes at length, I have nothing to add to the praise and description of the reviews by FJM and Aussie Reader below. I'd merely be restating or repeating.
