Silverland charts Dervla Murphy's extraordinary expedition through
the snowscapes of Far Eastern Russia. No stranger to adventure, the
intrepid septuagenarian's mid-winter journey takes her beyond
Siberia to the furthest corners of Russia - areas proximate to
Japan, Mongolia and the Arctic Circle. Here she discovers a strange
world of lynx and elks, indigenous tribes and shamanism, reindeer
broth and taiga-berry pie. She takes the coal-fuelled slow-train
around regions hardly exposed to tourism and there she meets a host
of colourful and generous characters. They invite this
unconventional Irish Babushka into their homes where she enjoys
fascinating fireside debate bolstered by steaming samovars of sweet
tea. Just like its author, Silverland is insightful, warm and truly
original.
