Are you brave enough to get aboard the Trans-Siberian-Express and face the dangers of the Wastelands? The risks are numerous, from getting injured by marvellous creatures to losing your sanity - but the rewards are promising...In Sarah Brooks's "The Cautious Traveller's Guide to the Wastelands" we get to experience this unique journey from the perspective of three very different personas, all of them hiding a secret that endagers the life of every passenger on the train. There is the orphan Weiwei, born and raised on the train. Marya, who travels under a false name and wants revenge for her father. And Henry Gray,a naturalist obsessed with regaining his recently lost reputation as a scientist. A beautifully written story about what it means to be stuck in norms and traditions as well as the human urge to discover the unknown.
