GoodBookStall Review:
On the back of the book is a review from Stephen Goodwin, journalist and climber, who is the Editor of The Alpine Journal He writes ‘With disarming honesty, Angela Locke has captured the rollercoaster of emotions that is a first visit to Nepal.....the fears and fascinations: for her the beginning of a journey of enlightenment, and a new mission.’
I could not put it better, so have taken the libberty of quoting his words.
I read this book with interest and something more. Angela Locke helps the reader to enter into her adventure from their armchair, and I felt I now understand so much more about the people of Nepal though there is obviously far more to learn.
Nowhere is Christianity mentioned, but faith is a strong element of what she found and her story helps us to respect what other people believe.
The Juniper Trust has grown out of that first visit back in 1992. See www.junipertrust.co.uk for what is being achieved.
