Through Siberia by Accident is a book about a journey that didn't
happen - and what happened instead. Dervla Murphy never had any
intention of spending three months in the vast territories of
Siberia. Instead she had planned to go to Ussuriland, because it
appealed to her as a place free from tourism. But by accident, or
rather because she had an accident - a painful leg injury -, she
found herself stymied in Eastern Siberia, a place she knew very
little about. Although hardly able to walk, her subsequent
experiences, in an unexpected place, and in an incapacitated state,
provided many pleasant surprises. Above all she was struck by the
extraordinary hospitality, generosity and helpfulness of the
Siberians who made this strange phenomenon - a maimed Irish
babushka - so welcome in their towns and homes. This book is an
extraordinary story of fortitude and resourcefulness as Dervla
Murphy finds friendship and culture in a seemingly monotonous,
bleak and inhospitable place far from what we know as 'civilised'.
Through Siberia by Accident is a voyage of Siberian self-discovery.
