REVOLUTIONARY RIDE (PB)

In 2011, at the height of tension between the British and Iranian governments, travel writer Lois Pryce found a note left on her motorcycle outside the Iranian Embassy in London. It read: “I wish that you will visit Iran so you will see for yourself about my country. WE ARE NOT TERRORISTS!!! Please come to my city, Shiraz. It is very famous as the friendliest city in Iran, it is the city of poetry and gardens and wine!!! Your Persian friend, Habib”. Intrigued, Lois decides to ignore all warnings and sets off alone on a 3,000 mile ride from Tabriz to Shiraz.
