I write this review in the almost certain knowledge that it is very unlikely to be read by more than a handful of people. I hesitate to make unreasonable claims for I have seen reviews written by people with an agenda who claim excellence and relevance for books of degrees of talent varying from the mediocre to the laughable which they claim were created by people of genius.
But I promise you - find this book. If you cannot (and it is listed in Alison & Busby paperback by Amazon with a 3 month wait)find Johanna at Daybreak or One Light Burning. But try, try, try to find Recollection of a Journey. The writing is sublime, at least a sentence a page to note and re read. An unforgettable story, often painful to share but ultimately profoundly affecting and uplifting. RCH is the most neglected English writer of the 20th century. If you read this - and read the book - let me know what you think. I've introduced him to at least 10 people, readers of all kinds, and they all agree.
