Passionate Nomad: the Life of Freya Stark
- List Price: $27.95
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Random House Trade
- Publish date: 01/01/2000
In this brilliant and balanced biography, Geniesse digs beneath the Stark mythology to uncover the complex, controversial, and charming creature at its core: the daughter of privilege who survived an impoverished childhood in Italy by dreaming of escape on the "Golden Road to Samarkand; " a woman of vast generosity known to turn instantly, ferociously on anyone who crossed her; the passionate woman who longed above all else to be a wife and mother yet consistently, disastrously chose the Wrong men.
Geniesse vividly brings to life the circle of sheiks, diplomats, generals, writers, and luminaries in which Stark moved as well as the ancient cities and vast deserts of the Middle East.
