Although absolutely heart wrenching at times, this ultimately life affirming book of a brother's love for each other is a joy to read. How Manni is able to pull his brother, Reubs, out of the darkness that fell on him during the pandemic lockdowns, when he was cut off from all his loved ones, by sheer perseverance and true love, is a wonderful thing. May we all know such love. ~ Reviewed by Becky Doherty

An absolute delight of a book, written with such an evocative narrative charm. Ross takes us on a tour of architecture, folklore, history and the human experience through some of the country's most interesting churches. At a time when many are being abandoned, repurposed and often destroyed, Ross reminds us of the enormous wealth of history and beauty they can contain, and the special places they really are, having soaked up sometimes centuries of human focus, desire and intention. Whether religious or not, these are places worth saving, visiting and rejoicing in. Outstanding! ~ Reviewed by Becky Doherty
