{"product_id":"9781468583243","title":"65 DAYS TO DELHI: AN INCREDIBLE JOURNEY","description":"In 1974, despite having a young wife and three very young children, Basil suggested that he would like to take a year out and drive, with his family, some 30,000 miles, to India and back.   This is the story of part of that incredible journey and of a group of young people they met and travelled with. A journey that would be impossible today. Three times held up by gunmen, in what the author describes as “the badlands between Turkey and India.” Witness to a ritual stoning to death in Ghazni. Locked up for a killing in Afghanistan. And accused of smuggling in Pakistan. The book is written with great humour and honesty. It is a story of a time before e-mails and mobile phones, a time before cash machines—a time when it was possible for your whereabouts to be unknown for weeks or months at a time. A story of dangerous mountain passes and dangerous people. But above all, it is a story of deep friendships quickly formed, of trust and of belief, and of the joy of being young, when, for you the extraordinary becomes ordinary, and the impossible becomes possible.","brand":"AuthorHouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47135745310960,"sku":"9781468583243","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781468583243_p0.jpg?v=1763695914","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781468583243","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
