Review
""The Golden Horde" is the perfect vehicle for Paine' s fresh prose."--"Independent on Sunday," Book of the Week "This is excellent travel writing from an author who is always lively, fascinated by everything and prepared to take almost insane risks."--"Times Literary Suppl"ement "Dalrymple and Birkett both project personal glamour. Sheila Paine couldn' t be bothered with it... she has a lovely tenderness towards those who made or make things."--"The Guardian" "Sheila Paine is not your usual travel writer. When she comes across a piece of her precious embroidery, the prose lights up as if illuminated from within."--"Irish Times" "Few travellers manage to get below the surface grottiness of Central Asia: Paine, now and again, touches something very deep indeed."--"Irish Times ""She is intrepid, upbeat and a keen observer of human types."--"The Scotsman"
