Solitude

Some people long to find it, others lone to escape from it. But, whether we welcome or dread it, solitude is something we all experience in different forms at different points in our lives. After enduring nearly five years of solitary confinement, Terry Waite discovered that he was drawn to find out more about the power of solitude. The result is this haunting book, in which he recalls his encounters with people who have experienced some very different ways of being solitary.
