Excerpt from Harold the Exile, Vol. 1 of 3 And here, my dear sister, you will, I know, require a more minute description of our present residence, that you may be able in your solitary reveries to form some definite idea of the spot which your sister inhabits but description must fail in conveying to you an adequate idea of the fairy cottage from whence I now address you. Situated on the lovely shores of the loveliest lake in Europe, it seems to share in the aspect and character of the sur rounding scene, where nature, throned in mountain majesty, sheds on every object a portion of her own loveliness and tranquillity. Mountains whose fantastic forms defy the wildest flight of imagina tion to give them a resemblance. Rocks crowned with foliage, and mantled with vines every variety of land, of wood and water unite in rich assemblage to.

Book Description
The moving, inspiring David-and-Goliath true story of freedom and justice involving one tiny nation in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Africa, and the extraordinary woman, a descendant of slaves, who dared to take on the Crown and the United Kingdom—and win a historic victory In 1973, on the Chagos Islands off the coast of Africa, Liseby Elyse—twenty years old, newly married and four months pregnant—was, rounded up, along with the entire population of Chagos, and ordered to pack her belongings and leave her beloved homeland by ship or slowly starve; the British had cut off all food supplies. Some two thousand people who had lived on the islands of Chagos for generations, many the direct descendants of enslaved people brought there from Mozambique and Madagascar in the 18th century by the French and British, were deported overnight from their island paradise as the result of a secret decision by the British government to provide the United States with land to construct a military base in the Indian Ocean. For four decades the government of Mauritius fought for the return of Chagos. Three decades into the battle, Philippe Sands became the lead lawyer in the case, designing its legal strategy and assembling a team of lawyers from Mauritius, Belgium, India, Ukraine, and the U.S. When the case finally reached the World Court in the Hague, Sands chose as the star witness the diminutive Liseby Elyse, now sixty-five years old, and instructed her to appear before the court, speaking in Kreol, to tell the fourteen international judges her story of forced exile. The fate of Chagos rested on her testimony. The judges faced a landmark decision: Would they rule that Britain illegally detached Chagos from Mauritius? Would Liseby Elyse sway the judges and open the door, allowing her and her fellow Chagossians to return home—or would they remain exiled forever? Philippe Sands writes of his own journey into international law and that of the World Court in the Hague, and of the extraordinary decades-long quest of Liseby Elyse, and the people of Chagos, in their fight for justice and a free and fair return to the idyllic land of their birth.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Earl's Promise, Vol. 1 of 3: A Novel In the bright sunlight it appeared like a place deserted by its population - a place rich in every natural beauty, Which there was neither man nor woman to admire. SO far as position was concerned, Kings lough had nothing left to desire. Situated on an arm of the sea, the town, well sheltered from the wild north winds by hills and far-spreading plantations, nestled its houses snugly along the Shore, while the blue waves rippled gently in over the red sandstone beach. Nature had indeed done everything for the little watering-place, and man had, as is usually the case, done his best to spoil Nature's handiwork.
