Book excerpt: Scheherezades Al-Tellawys remarkable life story is a powerful reminder of the depth of human strength in the face of adversity - however sustained and shattering. An engaging narrative, elegantly told, An Eclipse of Destiny recounts the span from a traditional family upbringing in Western Syria to her astonishing integration into life in an Irish community. Ever human and kind in the face of prolonged suffering, Sheherezade brings tolerance and understanding to every situation - an inspirational account of the struggle for personal freedom that also draws attention to cultural divergences and convergences of two societies generally conceived to be poles apart. -Max
