The Linen Goddess: Travels from the Red Sea to Prizren

This third volume of Sheila Paine’s odyssey takes her through war-torn Eritrea and Somalia, past the ancient rock churches of Ethiopia and the tiny pyramids of Sudan, through Egypt and across the Mediterranean to Greece, ending in the bandit land of Albania. It is an adventure across the fault lines of history and religion too, as the "Linen Goddess" fades and reappears from view. And after a journey through some of the least visited and most dangerous parts of the world, Paine finally catches up with the goddess surprisingly close to home.
