My Review

What a beautiful sad and strong story! It was written very clear, and
of course emotional. I had to cry and I admire the strength of Nadeem, his
mother and his family. 

I would recommend this book to all the people who like to read wonderful,
strong memoirs. What is more powerful than a mother talking about her 
son? 

Of course, I give a 5 star rating for this splendid book!

Bookreview: Trekker Girl - Morocco Bound

"What a very nice memoir!"

Summary

Blood clot survivor, Dawne Archer (aka Trekker Girl) tells her story of 
family trauma, friendship rekindled and what seemed like 'a good idea 
at the time'. Was trekking the Sahara Desert a step too far in her efforts
to fundraise for Thrombosis UK?

"I suffer from Survivor Gilt, why did my Dad die from his blood clot
while I lived through mine? At the age of 26 I experienced two clots;
one in my leg and another in my lung.  People tell me "You're lucky
to be alive!" And they are right.

Having made it to my 50s, I now live a fuller and more active life than
ever before, although most people would say that trekking in the
Sahara Desert to raise money for charity was perhaps a step too far.

After being contacted by a friend I last saw 35 years before, I rashely
signed up for this trek which pushed me way beyond my normal limits
of endurance.

Join me on my journey through the trials and tribulation of this 
adventure. Laugh and cry with me. This is my story."

With blood clots, knowing what to look for might save your live or that
of someone close to you. Trombosis UK works hard to educate both the 
public and the health professionals to 'Spot the Clot'.

All profits from sales of this book will be donated to Thrombosis UK. 

My Review

First of all: I must admit - I'm a fan of deserts too, so the book cover really
attracted me. The walking part is something else. 

I liked the way the author talked about her life, her illness

and her amazing travel plan. She's very positive! 

She wrote honestly and the book read easily as I wanted to continue
reading. 

She described her travels detailled. It was chronological and
good structured. And I also did like the photographs and the comments
as well!

I'm really certain now. When we can travel again: Morocco is on
the wish list!

I would recommend Trekker Girl - Morocco Bound  to anyone who
loves fair travel memoirs. I like to give with lots of pleasure and support a
5* rating. 

The Author

I was pleasantly surprised that the author organises a fundraising for
Thrombosis UK. Fundraising on this link.

I would love to read more about your other adventures.
