Safe Passage Notebooks - Mariam Stephens

War and violence: the twins who bring a brutal intimacy to everyone involved. Victims caught between the poles of love and war, wherever it may be, and whatever name or cause it claims. The ongoing struggle of living life and working for peace - while the polar opposites rage all around. The Safe Passage Notebooks tells two stories of life in Ireland: the early days during and post-World War II, and the inside story of the Troubles and what it means to live the reality of civil war. ..".this is a wonderful memoir, full of love, loss, hope and humor, bigger-than-life characters and always, always, the voice and spirit of Ireland."
