She knows the dangers of the treacherous high mountain passes-border guards, brigands, wild animals, ferocious weather-but she is proud that her father asks her. Life is hard, and without the extra money Augusto's smuggling brings in, the family would starve.When Augusto disappears during one of his trips, Jole must retrace the route he took, seeking a buyer for her family's tobacco-and the truth behind her father's disappearance.Soul of the Border is an epic story of revenge and salvation, a ferocious tale of violence and corruption, and a journey into the wild.

Hardcover. Here are forty texts to read at some stage in your life- forty texts that can enrich you in all manner of ways. Some are recent, like Harry Potter; some ancient, like Homer and Lao Tzu. There are memoirs (Nelson Mandela), poetry (Les Murray) and many of the world's great novels, from George Eliot's Middlemarch to Toni Morrison's Beloved. Our guide, in entertaining short essays about personal encounters with each of these works, is Michael McGirr- schoolteacher and former priest, reviewer of hundreds of novels and lifelong lover of literature. His humour and insight shine through in stories that connect the texts he has selected with each other, and connect us to them. Never prescriptive, and often very funny, this book is an invitation to reflect on-and share with others-the extraordinary gift of reading. 'It is a gift that is taking me a lifetime to unwrap,' McGirr writes. 'The excitement has never worn off.'. These are USED books. Please only purchase if you are happy with that.
