This should be fun! We will cast ourselves back to Victorian England and learn about a phenomenon. Gertrude Bell was rich, fearless, and intelligent. She blazed her own path as a poet, scholar, historian, mountaineer, photographer, archaeologist, gardener, cartographer, linguist, and spy. The modern state of Iraq reflects her hand.
Reviews call this book like “a hefty thoroughly enjoyable biography” and “a gripping read”.
