Glowing still : a woman's life on the road / by Wheeler, Sara,author.;
Sara Wheeler is Britain's foremost woman travel writer. From the Antarctic to Zanzibar, 'Glowing Still' is the story of her travelling life-what is "important, revealing or funny"-in a notoriously testosterone-laden field. Growing up among blue-collar Conservatives in Bristol where 'we didn't know anyone who wasn't like us', Wheeler knew she needed to get away. In her twenties she began a dramatic escape: Pole to Pole, via Poland. As she writes in the introduction: when she set sail, 'role models were scarce in the travel-writing game.' But advancing years usher in unheralded freedoms, and journey's end finds Wheeler at peace among Zanzibar dhows, contemplating our connection with other lives-the irreplaceable value that travel brings-and paying homage to her heroines. 'Surely,' wrote Freya Stark, 'of all the wonders of the world, the horizon is the greatest.'
