INGRID BETANCOURT - Even Silence Has an End

Title: Even Silence Has an End
Description: Penguin Press, 2010. Paperback. Pp: 528. In 2002, while campaigning as a candidate in the Colombian presidential elections, Ingrid Betancourt was abducted by the FARC. She would spend the next six and a half years in the depths of the jungle as a prisoner of the FARC. 'Even Silence Has an End' is her personal and moving account of that time. Chained day and night for much of her captivity, she never stopped dreaming of escape and, in fact, succeeded in getting away several times, always to be recaptured. Attending as intimately to the landscape of her mind as she does to the events of her capture and captivity, 'Even Silence Has an End' is a meditation on the very stuff of life-fear and freedom, hope and what inspires it. Betancourt tracks her metamorphosis, sharing how in the routines she established for herself-listening to her mother and two children broadcast to her over the radio, daily prayer-she was able to do the unthinkable - to move through the pain of the moment and find a place of serenity.
