The book describes the author’s journey through Central Asia. Travelling by foot, bus and mule, Metcalfe spent five months tracking down and meeting some of Central Asia's peoples. From the Karakalpaks of Uzbekistan, a formerly nomadic community whose life has been irrevocably altered by the disappearance of the Aral Sea; and the Jews of Bukhara, once renowned for their polygamy (unique amongst Jews); to the Germans of Kazakhstan, who first arrived in Russia at the invitation of Catherine the Great in 1763. Translated from English.
