Few Western women know Pakistan as Jill Worrall does. Since her first visit over 16 years ago she has become deeply attached to this fascinating but trouble-torn land. Almost always in the company of Pakistani Mujahid Ali Khan, with whom she has a close but sometimes combustible working relationship, she is the special guest at a wedding in the Shangri-La setting of Hunza, spends a week riding a camel through the remote Baluchistan Desert, becomes a fan of Pakistan's Lollywood movies, and floats in a boat down the Indus. She travels under armed guard to the legendary Khyber Pass and retraces the steps of Buddhist pilgrims and traders along one of the ancient silk routes. And all this (and more) while learning to cope with cultural differences, language difficulties - and the often over-riding anxiety over toilet arrangements.

Jill Worrall is the travel editor for a major New Zealand daily newspaper. Although she has won a number of awards for her travel writing, A Blonde in the Bazaar is her first book.
