From the descriptions in the book, the culture and way of life seem very different to life in the UK.

Beautifully written,concerning shifting borders, disparate forgotten people, atrocities from not so very long ago, I cant praise it highly enough.A riveting read about an area most people in the west know nothing about



It is a very different but comparable journey to that undertaken by Patrick Leigh-Fermor in The Broken Road. A great and gripping concept, made boring by far too much attention paid to the writing, rather than the subject matter and story itself.

from Border . I read and listen to a lot of books, 3-4 a week, mainly history, but a fair amount of current affairs, travelogues, biographies and memoirs too.

Qualms: she insists she is not a historian - but Wiki would have saved her from regular minor ambiguities or flat errors: eg Ataturk was nothing to do with the Armenian massacres; she seems to confuse Lausanne with Sevres; could have worked a little harder to understand the Orthodox church and the various forms of Islam; why modern Turkish is so different from that of 1918 is actually a helpful part of her story that she has missed; Cathars etc.

She is the author of several poetry collections, numerous travel essays, the novel Villa Pacifica (2011), and the acclaimed memoirs Street Without a Name: Childhood and Other Misadventures in Bulgaria (2008) and Twelve Minutes of Love: A Tango Story (2011). I previously read ''street without a name'' which I thoroughly enjoyed.

I would go so far to say that it is probably the best book I have read in the last year. Merci d’essayer à nouveau.

The author is a poet, and linguistically gifted and the book shows confidence in the way scenes and personalities are managed and woven together.

I kept hoping this book would get better but every single 'scene' was inspired, then 'over-written'. Kapka Kassapova, écrivain bulgare d'expression anglaise installée en Ecosse après avoir tâté de l'émigration en Nouvelle-Zélande, raconte son retour et ses rencontres sur les confins balkaniques des frontières entre la Grèce, la Turquie, la Bulgarie (et j'en passe), des régions dépeuplées à plusieurs reprises par la violence depuis le début du XIXe siècle où s'accrochent tant bien que mal des populations marginalisées par tous les blocs et tous les Etats, où l'exode finit par devenir une identité, où les déracinements n'ont pas (encore?) with some historical background information - but it never feels like it's too much of it A fascinating account of a little known part of the world. She emigrated with her family in 1992 and now lives in Scotland.
I would love to read this story, written by someone else. Border: A Journey to the Edge of Europe (English Edition) To the Lake: A Balkan Journey of War and Peace In the end she leaves, but the spell remains' -- Book of the Week, Guardian

Kapka Kassabova's personal essay on the border between Bulgaria, Greece, and Turkey--where many East Germans attempted to flee to the west before the wall fell in 1989--is a somewhat mystical look at the idea of border at Europe's back door, as she and her interviewees refer to it.
