      Book Overview

      'A Place Apart' is a geographical and psychological travelogue that rises above history, politics, theology and economics.

She travelled extensively through both town and country, frequently finding herself in horrifying situations, and sometimes among people stiff with hate and grief: but equally, she discovered an unquenchable spirit everywhere that refused to die.

What other writer would sit through the tedium of EIGHT Free Presbyterian services in various locations so...
