In March 2022, Michael Palin travelled the length of the River Tigris through Iraq to get a sense of what life is like in a region of the world that once formed the cradle of civilisation, but that in recent times has witnessed turmoil and appalling bloodshed. It was a journey of sharp, often brutal contrasts. At one moment he would be exploring the old streets of Baghdad or the ancient ruins of Babylon. At the next he would be visiting the war-torn city of Mosul, or learning about the horrific Speicher massacre in Tikrit. Now he shares the journal he meticulously kept during his trip, in which he describes the very varied places he visited, the people he met and the impressions he formed of a country that few outsiders now venture to see.

Illustrated throughout with colour photographs taken on the trip, and permeated with his warmth and humour, this is a vivid and varied portrait of a complex country.

Lovely to listen to the legendary Sir Michael recount his journey into Iraq. As usual it’s insightful and humorous and important to someone who has previously spent time in Iraq during its turbulent past to hear about the hope for its future.

It is difficult to to escape the sense of melancholy in the text and the reading. Iraq an endlessly fascinating nation blessed with ancient wonders and enriched with modern resources but scarred too often by conflicts. Palin, an ever reliable travel companion, shares the wonder and frustrations as beautifully as he always does. This account imparts its knowledge lightly, may make you want to visit, and reminded me of how much I miss the country I briefly lived in.

A gentle but sometimes sad journey

Michael Palin is my favourite travel writer and this book doesn’t disappoint. He is respectful of the country and its people and displays curiosity mingled with non-judgmental gentleness which is rare, I think. The book is well written & well read.

Just so lovely !
