'The Crossing Place' is the account of a remarkable journey through the Middle East, Eastern Europe and the Caucasus, a quest to discover the secret of one of the world's most extraordinary peoples. Caught between opposing empires, between warring religions and ideologies - at the crossing place of history - the Armenians have somehow survived against the odds.
"An interest, then an obsession, then a quest - and eventually a book, 'The Crossing Place', in which Marsden's fine and unostentatious travel writing is criss-crossed with traces of politics and cultural history ... This is a beautifully written book, with enough incident and observation to convey the unpredictabilities of real travel."
NOEL MALCOLM, 'Daily Telegraph'
"One of the best young travel writers in search of the elusive, enigmatic Armenians ... A wonderful journey recounted with knowledge, humour and a beautiful elegiac sadness."
NICHOLAS WOLLASTON, 'Observer'
"Perfectly placed in mood and sympathy ... A determined and passionate book."
GUARDIAN
"A chance discovery of a human bone in Anatolia led Philip Marsden on a fascinating journey through the turbulent Middle East to find the first modern victims of genocide, the Armenians. This is a lone and absorbing quest for what stubbornly survives a holocaust - a people, a landscape, a language, a religious vision. It is an admirable book."
