Reviews
Noo Saro-Wiwa, author of Looking for Transwonderland 'Shafik Meghji is a natural travel writer with a ready mastery of history, anecdote and atmosphere, and Crossed off the Map is the best sort of travel book - an informed and informative portrait of Bolivia that doubles as a vicarious journey for readers on an epic scale, through high mountains, across the altiplano and into deep tropical forests.'
Tim Hannigan, author of The Travel Writing Tribe 'A thoroughly engrossing and informative look at a clearly underappreciated part of the world. I now want to read it all again... and explore Bolivia for myself.'
Lyn Hughes, founding editor of Wanderlust 'Crossed off the Map is an amazing book. I've discovered so much more of my own country through it. It makes you realise the wonder of Bolivia.'
Sergio Mendoza, journalist for La Nube and Bloomberg News 'Following in the footsteps of everyone from Che Guevara, conquistadors and colonialists, to Inca pilgrims and even dinosaurs, Meghji is a wonderful travelling companion, bringing to life a Bolivia rarely seen in such bright and beautiful light.'
Monisha Rajesh, author of Around the World in 80 Trains
