About this listen
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of East of Croydon written and read by Sue Perkins.
A few years ago I was asked if I'd like to make a documentary on the Mekong River, travelling from the vast delta in Vietnam to the remote and snowy peaks of Tibet.
Up until that point, the farthest East I'd been was Torremolinos, in the Costa Del Sol.
Here's the thing:
I am scared of flying.
I have zero practical skills.
I can't survive if I am more than a three minute walk from a supermarket.
For the last seven years I have suffered with crippling anxiety
I bolt when panicked.
I cannot bear to witness humans or animals in distress
I have no ability to learn languages.
I am a terrible hypochondriac
And I am no good with boats.
So I said yes.

Beautiful and touching and heartbreaking
I loved it. Very moving. A fantastic account of a journey in a world few in the west really understand.

Please go on more adventures Sue!
I could listen to Sue talk all day, and I pretty much did for three. Be prepared to unexpectedly laugh out loud. People look at you funny. Be mindful that you may also cry. People also look at you funny if you have tears rolling down your face while doing the groceries. I loved every page and highly recommend Sue as an author, a TV presenter and a narrator. Huge fan.

Loved it!
Sue Perkins achieves the most delightful balance and shifts between silliness, wit, sentiment and insight. I loved the raw emotion and brutal honesty. More please!
