An extraordinary adventure retracing one of motoring's most legendary routes, this gripping account follows the author's journey from Beijing to Paris in a vintage car. The challenge is formidable: over 10,000 miles of treacherous terrain, from the Gobi Desert to the steppes of Mongolia, navigating mountain passes and ancient roads that test both machine and driver to their limits.

Bennett brings the epic journey to life with vivid descriptions of landscapes, mechanical breakdowns, and the camaraderie amongst fellow competitors. Her narrative captures the spirit of early automotive pioneers whilst revealing the modern-day challenges of attempting such an audacious feat. This is a tale of determination, ingenuity, and the enduring appeal of adventure that will resonate with anyone who dreams of pushing boundaries and exploring the world's most remote corners.
