Two Kosovo journeys a century apart. In 1900 Europe`s last wilderness was explored by a most unlikely champion, a stout, stubborn Englishwoman who travelled in her tam o`shanter across the Accursed Mountains into Kosovo. Edith Durham was dubbed ` Queen of the Highlanders` by the Albanians who honoured her for her anthropological writing, her humanitarian aid & her tireless lobbying for their cause. One hundred years later, Elizabeth Gowing came to Kosovo & also fell in love with the country. Dividing her time between there & London, she thought that no-one would understand her identity crisis; but as Elizabeth unravels Edith`s story through archives & museum collections in Britain & retraces Edith`s steps in Kosovo she learns from her what she should do with her life. Tracing the revelations in old diaries, jolting along Kosovan roads in a `motokultivator`, learning from Edith the secrets of the harem, & from monks the treasures of Unesco World Heritage Site monasteries, Elizabeth travels on Edith`s trail & ends up finding not only an Edwardian heroine but also a guide to her own very twenty-first century dilemma. Elizabeth`s first book, Travels in Blood & Honey; becoming a beekeeper in Kosovo (Signal Books, 2011) was described by The Times as `a sheer delight; a beguiling, bittersweet story of a lively love affair with a traditional world
- in transition to new nationhood`, & by The Lady as `a bold, unique stride across genres
- with a sense of humour & Famous Five enthusiasm`
