Ho hum! You can have it.<BR/><BR/>You're right! Staircase came across as a thoroughly believable modern personal journey - an unqualifiedly good read. I zipped through. She must have known her topic better than Islam.

Title seems familiar. We haggle. No loss at 3 bucks. To be honest, I don't know much about KA - she has a huge press - but I have never been able to finish "The History of Islam".
