While we found this book a little challenging to read, it stimulated some incredible conversations around borders. We thank you for your generosity and kindness. Our book club operates on a Pay-What-You-Can model, where we make a donation to a non-profit organization that is meaningful to the guest speaker. Lands of Lost Borders, winner of the 2018 Banff Adventure Travel Award and a 2018 Nautilus Award, is the chronicle of Harris’s odyssey and an exploration of the importance of breaking the boundaries we set ourselves an examination of the stories borders tell, and the restrictions they place on nature and humanity and a meditation on the existential need to explore-the essential longing to discover what in the universe we are doing here. “Every day on a bike trip is like the one before–but it is also completely different, or perhaps you are different, woken up in new ways by the mile.” In Land of Lost Borders: Out of Bounds on the Silk Road, Canadian Kate Harris traces Marco Polo’s steps on her bike.
Your book club co-hosts, Wendy and Carolyn, invite you to join us for a journey along the Silk Road, (also called the Silk Route), an ancient trade route linking China with the West, including countries such as Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan.
