The year is 1988. The Cold War is ending. Europe's near abroad, unlocks. And, a thirty-year-old Londoner attempts a road trip from France to western Turkey in a vintage Bentley, the book's eponymous heroine. Their journey unfolds into a circumnavigation of the Mediterranean Sea. The car's heroic skittishness is a source of comedy and woe, easing the author's frustration with his non-committal girlfriend back home. This book will appeal to adventurers and travelers, to students of human nature and late twentieth-century European history, to classic car enthusiasts and petrol-heads, and to all who enjoy a gripping story. As Part One of Fergus' Borderline Pass travelogue trilogy, The Lady With No Name takes his story from the summer of 1988 to the fall of the Berlin Wall in late 1989
