An Englishwoman in Angora

By Grace Ellison and L (Leonard) Raven-Hill

A vivid journey into a world on the edge of modernity, An Englishwoman In Angora invites you to walk the dusty lanes of Angora Anatolia through a fearless, far-seeing observer. Grace Ellison's memoir travel writing blends wartime travelogue with intimate reportage, charting cross cultural encounters and the shifting gender roles in empire as the first decades of the twentieth century unfold. This is not merely a diary of travel; it is historical reportage that reads with the immediacy of lived experience, capturing Ottoman rural life with empathy, precision, and quiet audacity. The prose moves between illumination and perception, offering readers a rare blend of personal observation and cultural context that resonates with history enthusiasts and travel readers alike. This volume is more than a reprint-it is a complete memoir edition that has been restored for today's audience and for future generations. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it stands as a collector's item and a cultural treasure, a touchstone for those who value illustrated travel memoirs and the finest non-fiction of the era. For casual readers and classic-literature collectors, it offers a window into a pivotal moment in Angora Anatolia, a rich tapestry of place, personality, and perspective that endures.
