The Incense Route developed to transport frankincense and myrrh, which are only found in the southern end of the Arabian Peninsula (modern Yemen and Oman). Frankincense and myrrh are both derived from tree sap that’s dried in the Sun; these nuggets of sap can then be burned as incense or used as perfume, and were also popular in burial rituals to aid embalming. The camel was domesticated around 1000 BCE and this development allowed the Arabs to begin transporting their valuable incense to the Mediterranean, an important trade hub. Frankincense and myrrh became a significant commodity for the Romans, Greeks, and Egyptians—it was said the Roman emperor Nero had a whole year’s harvest of frankincense burned at the funeral of his beloved mistress. I adored learning about the Tuareg and could only imagine the hardship of crossing a desert. Not something I would want to do but seen through others eyes, absolutely fascinating.

I found the opening pretty slow. I wasn't even sure I liked it, but the skill of the author shows in the gradual build up throughout the novel. It's beautifully written. Isabelle, who is the main character, isn't immediately likeable in that she 'appears' a tad stand offish and perhaps that was my problem in the beginning, that I didn't immediately identify with her. There are reasons, naturally, why Isabelle is like she is and these unfold through her story, told in first person, and Mariata's story, told in third. So we have a dual timeline running throughout. We begin in the 'real world' of Isabelle and her examining the contents of a box her father has left her. Inside is an amulet, and the adventure of its history is both Isabelle and mariata's story.

Following a section of the Viking Way and the course of a Roman salt road, you might catch a glimpse of a kingfisher on your way. And many of the fields are filled with red poppies during the summer.The Salt Road is an ancient trade route that has been all but forgotten, yet it winds its way through some of the most stunning scenery in Japan. The Salt Road The story of Mariata and Amastan had to be my favourite of the two. Mariata was annoying at times as she was slightly arrogant at first, but after moving villages, she lightened up. From the start of her relationship with Amastan I could tell that something terrible was going to happen. Tana -one of my favourite characters- warned Mariata many times about Amastan but she was just too head over heels. Featuring an emotional mystery and a phenomenal Targuia protagonist whose journey along the proverbial and literal Salt Road of life and death is the strong heart of the story, Johnson’s novel offers exceptional thrills for armchair travellers.” The book switches between two stories which linked to each other at the end of the book. The first being the story of Isabelle which started at beginning, then the second was introduced cleverly by Isabelle having a dream. I found Mariata's story interesting and would have liked to have a little more of that throughout the novel. I found the ending to be disappointing though, kind of like the author just needed to finish the story and that she needed to connect all the characters together. This book just could not keep my attention, I kept drifting away (I think that's the reason I could barely remember what was happening with the two different stories).

Overall though, this is one big shop selling high-end items only. Great if you’re into looking at (or buying!) high quality and expensive homeward, books, art supplies etc, but a tourist attraction? Not really! Yes there is some art to view, and I was pleasantly surprised to find some portraits of people I know (from the mining days) in the small section leading to the antiques emporium. Such a great trip! Sébastien was an amazing tour leader. He is very knowledgeable about of the history of the area and provided us with great opportunities to enjoy all of the amazing this area of France has to offer. Very well organized for group. A lovely train ride and bus ride to small villages. Take advantage of the restaurant lunch, it’s wonderful. I enjoyed visiting the small shops and meeting some of the local people. This walk passes through an area that was once one of the most industrial parts of the Wolds, where ironstone was mined for nearly 40 years. From Dines Green towards Worcester, service will turn right onto Bromyard Road instead of left after serving Dines Green estate, the left onto A4440, left onto Bransford Road, left onto Watery lane and right to resume normal route at Bedwardine Inn.The Trans-Saharan Trade Route from North Africa to West Africa was actually made up of a number of routes, creating a criss-cross of trading links across the vast expanse of desert. These trade routes first emerged in the fourth century CE. By the 11th century, caravans composed of more than a thousand camels would carry goods across the Sahara. Gold, slaves, salt, and cloth were traded along the route, as were objects like ostrich feathers and European guns. Separated by different times and cultures, the lives of Izzy and Mariata are about to become fatally entwined.
