Virago Press Ltd Border Crossing: On the Road from Peking to Paris
In December 1996 Rosie Thomas received a cryptic message. <I>You know you want to do it. Just say yes. P.</I> The note was from Phil Bowen, a mountaineer and photographer Thomas had met on a trek to the Everest base camp several months before. Bowen wanted her to drive half way round the world with him in an antique Volvo Amazon, in a recreation of the first ever international motor rally, the 1907 Peking to Paris Motor Challenge.<p> Thomas, mother of two and best selling novelist pushing fifty, didn't exactly fit the young, male rally driver stereotype but decided to do it anyway. As a young woman she hadn't travelled: Travel was dangerous, and demanded a sense of inner strength and adjustment that I didn't possess. Now she felt more confident. I held all the threads of my life in my own hands now, and if I wasn't going to travel while I was at the peak of my abilities and still had some physical capacity left, then I probably never would.<p> <I>Border Crossing</I> is packed with antique cars, millionaire drivers, and, of course, breakdowns--but at its core this is less a book about rallying than about personal challenges. When Thomas's health breaks down she gets little support from the mostly male crew and doctors. She craves emotional support that Phil can't always give. This travelogue takes a refreshingly frank look at the relations between women, men and cars. <I>--Kathleen Keefe</I>
