You Might As Well Die Here As Anywhere

Sister Modgala, writing of her experiences in a bush health centre in Zambia, vividly reveals the everyday realities of the ordinary people living there. Her stories of life and death are sometimes shocking, sometimes joyful, but always engaging and deeply moving in their unsparing simplicity, and she shows how a Pureland Buddhist nun's life of openness and service to others can be very rich, powerfully life-affirming and often, very funny.
