Vivienne is 50% done with The Golden Bird: Two Orkney Stories

Having just completed The Golden Bird, the first in this collection of two novellas, I am hooked on George Mackay Brown. I only discovered him on our recent travels to Orkney and what a find! I am entranced by the lyrical beauty of his prose. It carries me back to my childhood when I would spend hours engrossed in folktales from around the world. Why had I not come across Mackay Brown before? He is a treasure.

Vivienne is on page 96 of 254 of Hannah Senesh: Her Life and Diary

Just discovered she was also a poet. This is the first verse of her first poem written in Hebrew in 1940 (previous poems were in her native Hungarian)...
In the fires of war, in the flame, in the flare,
In the eye-blinding, searing glare
My little lantern I carry high
To search, to search for true Man
