About This Item

London England: William Heinemann Ltd, 1988. Hardback. First Edition. Nor Iron Bars a Cage. In January 1986 the author, an English woman in her sixties, was kidnapped by Tamil terrorists in Sri Lanka and held for five weeks. This remarkable book is the story of her captivity. She describes her capture, her certaintity during the first few hours that she would be shot as a spy, the long incoherent interrogations, an extraordinary night-march across the shallows of the Jaffna peninsula....She recalls her relationships with the men guarding her, the disciplines and devices she used to pass the time....One of the ways she occupied herself was to write her recollections of two journeys she made in Greece when she was a young woman, travelling alone. Her stories of Greece appear here as she wrote them, accounts of a golden freedom that at once illuminate and contrast with the circumstances in which she is writing them. Here, too, in a different form, the author shows herself to be a writer of quite uncommon gifts. 195 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.). First Edition. Cloth. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall Octavo. Hardback.
