Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A Country of Refuge is a poignant, thought-provoking and timely anthology of writing on asylum seekers from some of Britain and Ireland's most influential voices. Compiled and edited by human rights activist and writer Lucy Popescu, this powerful collection of short fiction, memoir, poetry and essays explores what it really means to be a refugee: to flee from conflict, poverty and terror; to have to leave your home and family behind; and to undertake a perilous journey, only to arrive on less than welcoming shores. These writings are a testament to the strength of the human spirit. The contributors articulate simple truths about migration that will challenge the way we think about and act towards the dispossessed and those forced to seek a safe place to call home. 'A powerful, and frequently harrowing, collection . I read it with fascination' - Penelope Lively 'A beautiful insight into the painful individuality of the refugee' - Jon Snow.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. A hauntingly beautiful novel, bringing to life one of history's most mysterious characters, Mary of Nazareth, as a beautiful, complicated, utterly believable girl in love. * In a bestselling tradition: Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist, Anita Diamant's The Red Tent, Francois Mauriac's A Kiss for the Leper, and Orson Scott Card's Sarah all present biblical themes through the sensibilities of today. Girl Mary will similarly captivate readers of all faiths and backgrounds. * A great character: For centuries, Mary has been the Virgin--but isn't she also the ultimate female, whose life and passion have never been told? Girl Mary introduces us to the human girl who beguiled even God with her simplicity. So what exactly is Girl Mary? Answers the author: it's a love story of biblical proportions. * Great storytelling: Petru Popescu recounts this epic through the eyes of famous characters. Pontius Pilate, already Rome's agent in Judea at the time, meets Mary and falls under her spell. Years before the massacre of the innocents, King Herod senses that Mary signals the end of his reign. Other heroes of the scriptures appear in Girl Mary at their very debut in history. Described with surreal accuracy, Judea and Rome become the birthplace of Christianity.…
