Some Other Rainbow

Résumé du livre

On April 17, 1986, John McCarthy, a British television journalist, was kidnapped in Beirut and held for 5 years. During those years he lived in squalor and was cut off from everybody he knew and loved, including Jill Morrell, the girl he was going to marry. For Jill, the 5 years of John's captivity were a different kind of hell--the initial shock and horror, and then the gradual acceptance that all their plans had been shattered. For 5 years she battled with the mandarins of the Foreign Office and worked ceaselessly on behalf of all the British hostages in the Middle East, until the extraordinary day in August 1991 when John McCarthy stepped down from an aeroplane at RAF Lyneham.
