Join CIC Victoria in a conversation with author Jamie Bowman about her most recent book, Bike Riding in Kabul.

Bike Riding in Kabul follows the professional and personal adventures of international legal consultant Jamie Bowman, an attorney from California, as she endeavors to update the laws of Kosovo, Ukraine, Bangladesh, Moscow, Southern Sudan, Rwanda, and Afghanistan.  As seen through Jamie’s good humor and unique perspective, Bike Riding in Kabul moves with effortless charm through a fascinating array of personalities and events. It is full of exotic locations, difficult work challenges, strong female role models, and quirky characters, and explores a wide range of themes, including the important role of reform, endemic corruption, post-Cold War sentiments, and how other countries view the United States.  Fast-paced, funny, occasionally heartbreaking, but always wholly original, the book captures the challenges of working overseas and is a story of finding the strength necessary to do the right thing.
