In the summer of 1907, a madcap brigade inaugurated the first international motor rally from Peking to Paris. The race included only five cars and their crews who wrote their agreed code of conduct on the back of a menu the night before the start. The only navigational aids were the sun and telegraph poles. Ninety years later, the race ran again.
Rosie Thomas and her companion, Phil Bowen a thirty-year old climber, pearl-diver, charter-boat skipper and photographer were two of those daring enough to go for the challenge. On 6 September 1997, an assembly 110 vintage cars gathered in Peking, with the finish line in Paris lying 45 days and 16,000 kilometres ahead halfway across the world. The excitement of the daily time challenge, the strange camaraderie, the test of sleeping outdoors, in flea-pit hotels, in foreign lands, is more than matched by Rosie's own internal journey, including a near death experience at the top of the Himalayas.

Now this book was a bit of a surprise I obviously didn't read the resume properly and so until I started reading the book was unaware it was actually by way of being true story of the author's escapades in an amazing car race from Peking to Paris. The detail in this book was amazing and you could feel the agony and the joy they all felt as the race progressed. I would suggest this as a very interesting read.Product details

Border Crossing eBook Rosie Thomas Reviews
Bit disappointed. I have read several of Rosie Thomas' novels which I have really enjoyed but in this 'true' book she comes over as being a bit 'needy' and sometimes not very pleasant
straight forward narrative with clarity of details, you feel you are part of it
I thoroughly enjoyed your view on all the counties you traversed and all the people you met .. I do hope you have a Bently of your own to admire !!
Enjoyable reading. Love the way Rosie Thomas writes. Another great story is the Kashmir Shawl. Her stories are so real.
As described and arrived promptly.
The unexpectedly gripping narrative kept me enthralled from page one. Every incident encountered was well relayed and I almost felt that I was part of the rally. I would certainly recommend Border Crossing to anyone who wanted a little excitement in their life, without leaving the comfort of their home.
from my perspective just as a reader I gave a four. Rosie you have done it again. I was with you all the way on the Border Crossing. When you were angry, when you were happy when you were sad -when you were sick. In fact every emotion you went through I was there. It was a terrible journey. Some of the trials and tribulations you all went through were out of this world. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. fascinating read . .
