Product Description
From the Author
"Written in New York, Brussels, Dublin, Paris, Catalonia and Wales, `Blood on the Page' was inspired and provoked. Inspired by love and the good fortune of being loved; provoked by traditions of murder by proxy and the widely held belief that those unlike ourselves are incapable of love; both hypocrisies exercised while celebrating our compassion, spirituality and toleration of difference"... Labi Siffre
