Back in the 1990s, there was a flurry of books written by people who had been taken hostage in Lebanon. Some Other Rainbow, by John McCarthy and Jill Morrell, An Evil Cradling, by Brian Keenan, and Taken On Trust, by Terry Waite. I think there were one or two more, but those were the ones I read, and loved. I hadn't thought about those books for a while, until Judith Tebbutt's similar book came up. This story was widely reported in the press in NZ - Judith Tebbutt and her husband David were staying at a beach resort in Kenya in September 2011, when Judith was torn away from David late one night by a gang of armed pirates, and held hostage for ransom. She wrote this book after her release, and it's a gruelling, but inspiring story of her time in captivity. Tebbutt is an extremely good writer, and her story is utterly compelling, and incredibly moving. I couldn't put this book down; it's unsettling, upsetting, unflinching, honest. This book deserves a wide readership. Brilliant.
