Book Lebanese Nuns Don't skip What started out as self indulgent escapism quickly turned into an educational journey of other people s suffering and loss which helped put personal events into context From visiting the prisons of Rwanda gun battles in the West Bank being held at gunpoint in Kosovo and playing Stalin s piano in Georgia to causing a bomb scare in Jerusalem surviving a plane crash in Eritrea a hospital visit in Somalia and a friendly rat while camping in Madagascar this nine month trip from local pub near Oxford to local pub near Oxford via the Balkans the Caucasus the Middle East and Africa brings to life the lives loves and losses of the people and places encountered.
