A brilliant account of a death defying walk through Afghanistan Rory Stewart's sparsely poetic, and highly acclaimed account of his walk across Afghanistan in January 2002 has been hailed as a modern classic of travel writing. Travelling entirely on foot and following the inaccessible, mountainous route, Stewart was nearly defeated by the hostile conditions. With the help of an unexpected companion and the generosity of the people he met on the way, however, he survived to report back on a region closed to the world by twenty-four years of war.

Rory Stewart, ex-tutor to Princes William and Harry, has won the 2005 Royal Society of Literature Ondaatje Prize with his first book, The Places In Between.

Victoria Glendinning, chair of the judges described Rory Stewart as being "in the tradition of mad, or reckless Britishers who undertake journeys. He walked from to Kabul in territory laid with landmines. None of us will go where he has been . . . his writing is a pared-down achievement of shared experience, hard information, mysteriousness and lyricism."

"The scholarly but unstoppable hero-narrator draws on the tradition of Robert Byron and Bruce Chatwin, with a dash of John Buchan", said John Lanchester.

U.A. Fanthorpe described the short list of six as "writing of great distinction. All journeys of the soul, the hardest but (for the reader) the most rewarding kind of book."
