Brouage and Bourgneuf were specialised in the mass production of sea salt, according to Braudel (1984), p.208. Due to works to a sign on the railway bridge at Broadway Grove, service 30 will need to divert in both directions to and From Dines Green between 0900 and 1530.

If you would like to hike along the Salt Road and learn more about it, Walk Japan offers guided tours for small groups. While both Isabelle and Mariata have romantic relationships, this is not the main focus of the book and at no point does the romance element either dominate or undermine the solving of the puzzle of the amulet. I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Salt Road and was enthralled by the desert landscape which was painted as being full of life and mystery as well as being a dangerous and hostile environment.Johnson's sophomore effort The Salt Road, is equally good as The Tenth Gift, and follows a similar formula. This time we are taken to the historical land of the desert Tuareg tribes and modern day Morocco. At its heart, The Salt Road is about the strength of women, and further, is wonderfully insightful about the lives of the Tuareg people. The women in the novel, Mariata and Isabelle, overcome abuse and hardship and in the process find their true selves. There are also good and not so good surprises in store for both characters that keep the story suspenseful. Johnson portrays the Tuaregs as a fierce people fighting to preserve their traditions in an oppressive world.

Separated by different times and cultures, the lives of Izzy and Mariata are about to become fatally entwined. I recommend The Salt Road. Its focus on the lives of women reminded me other great novels with strong women within an historical context:The habitual use of salt is intimately connected with the advance from nomadic to agricultural life, a step in civilization that profoundly influenced the rituals and cults of almost all ancient nations. The gods were worshipped as the givers of the kindly fruits of the earth, and salt was usually included in sacrificial offerings consisting wholly or partly of cereal elements. Such offerings were prevalent among the Greeks and Romans and among a number of the Semitic peoples. The porters, too, differed from their Five Highways counterparts. Called bokka, literally “walking loads,” they were often farmers and their wives. They traveled in groups of ten or more, sometimes accompanied by beasts of burden, primarily oxen and horses. Horses were well-suited for the flat sections of the road, but oxen proved their worth by their ability to navigate the treacherous mountain paths with sure-footed precision. The walk takes in Alford Manor House, believed to be the largest thatched Manor House in England, Well Vale Hall, and the classical St Margaret’s Church, modelled on St Paul’s Church in Covent Garden.
