Gail - it means a great deal to learn of your interest! My PhD thesis was on travel writing—D.H. Lawrence's travel books, actually. Travel writing marries my passions: movement, geography, writing. And when I met Richard Holmes at Melbourne University a couple of years ago, and listened to what he had to say, I knew what I had to do, and I am now at the fascinating stage of exploring the ways of doing it! And never ceasing from travel, of course!
It's a wonderful spur for me to think of you as a potential reader. Could you tell me some of your favourite books of travel writing by women?
