A Fine copy SIGNED BY AUTHOR on front endpaper. Dustjacket is complete with light fading to spine VG+. The core of this book is a shattering experience, the true story of Father Emaldi who in 1951, rather than reveal the names of the faithful under Chinese Communist torture, cut out his own tongue and the heroism and horror of this act had a profound effect on the author. This is depicted in the first three stories, which are compelling and show the spiritual significance of his act, whilst in contrast the other stories are light in vein and her personal reminiscences reveal her sharp observation, determination in the face of adversity and her irrepressible optimism and cheerfulness. *** A SCARCE TITLE ***
