About this title

Review:

There were news stories in THE GUARDIAN and THE TIMES, on 25 July about the fact that nothing is being done to secure Ingrid's release. There was an excellent extract in the SUNDAY TELEGRAPH review section on 7 July and reviews are still coming in: 'This book is the gripping autobiography of a woman who stood up to Colombia's corrupt political elite and has been rewarded, at the time of writing with four months of captivity at the hands of left-wing rebels.... Highly recommended reading.'Michael McCaughan, THE IRISH TIMES UNTIL DEATH DO US PART is a story of extraordinary love: love for her parents, love for her children and love for her country'.THE DAILY MAIL Laetitia Cash Reviewsstill to come in LITERARY REVIEW, AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL and THE NEW STATESMAN
