Like Water In A Dry Land (U)

'Each of Bettina Selby's books is better than the last; and that cannot be said of many travel writers.' - Irish Independent In December 1994, Bettina Selby set off on a journey from Cyprus to the Holy Land. Riding her bicycle wherever possible, she travelled through Lebanon, Syria and Jordan to Jerusalem. Spurred on by the Jordan/Israel peace treaty and an audience with King Hussein, Bettina felt that perhaps a new perspective on Israel could be achieved. She travelled widely, from the ruins of Byblos in Lebanon to the Armenian Cathedral Church in Jerusalem, to the refugee camps of Gaza. She has produced a fascinating acccount of her travels and a valuable contribution to the understanding of the modern Holy Land.
