Reading Bingo Challenge : The Broken Road


No 1 completed is "The Broken Road: From the Iron Gates To Mount Athos" by Patrick Leigh Fermor. This is the anxiously awaited final part of his outstanding trilogy relating to his walk across Europe as a young man. For me, the most fascinating part was about Mount Athos, the people he met there and his reaction to the relics, icons and monastic atmosphere..... 



It falls in the category of  "A Book With A Blue Cover"  - well, it is mostly blue :-)
