Another Day in Paradise edited by Carol Bergman, Earthscan, £17.99, ISBN 1844070344
“POWERFUL stories from international aid workers” is how the press release promotes this anthology, and that’s indeed what these are: evocative, life-affirming accounts of trying to do good in the middle of humanitarian disaster. Some are written with lyrical flair, others are all the more graphic for their report-like tone. They show raw suffering, affecting both aid-provider and recipient, and the horrors of working in situations where energy must be conserved for the care of the living and not squandered on those who won’t survive.
