New Zealand journalist Polly Greeks and her partner Gary set out to walk the length of the Great Wall of China, undertaking a demanding journey through landscapes and communities far beyond the familiar tourist sites. Along the way, physical hardship and the practical challenges of travel are matched by encounters that reveal the warmth, complexity and contradictions of modern China. Greeks brings a personal perspective to the people she meets and the history surrounding the wall, connecting an immense national monument with individual lives. Her travel memoir combines adventure, cultural observation and an account of the relationship tested by the journey.
