About the Book

Ann O'Neil belongs to a group of people, now rapidly vanishing, whose accidents of birth and background, have given them a view of the world with its extraordinary variety of histories and traditions, which is at once compassionate, informed and yet firmly rooted in an Englishness we can still recognise. So when she decided to compose a book of her life, from its early beginnings in a pre-independent Indian subcontinent through her many travels and long experience of the Middle East, it was clear it would be a remarkable book - fresh, observant, warm-hearted, and passionate. For this is not just a personal history; it is a plea for a way of living in the world of which we may all too soon lose sight - a respect for diversity, a dedication to the fragile wonders of the natural world, and a conviction that each human life, wherever formed, the has a value that must be treasured.

About the Author :
Ann O'Neill was raised in India and travelled widely before settling in Jordan, where she lives today. She has enjoyed a long career in the media, and is a passionate lover of nature.

Review :
Christina Dunlop, niece to the author:;'The Great Mink', as she is so fondly known to our family, is probably one of the last of a generation of inspirational women made from the same strong tweed cloth. This book brings to life her story, from the heat and intrigue of bygone days of the Indian Raj through to the mystique of the Middle East, intermingled with visits to England. Through her lens and her written word she has passed on to others the wonders of Jordan and given insight into many hidden gems of delight.;Johnny Mackenzie, nephew to the author:;Reading through your journals, Mink, I am reliving these places and stories, so many of which are already familiar to me. You are a demonstrably clear and vivid writer. Your prose reads strongly, your eye for detail is striking and you are good at keeping everything moving along. Overall, there is a wonderful fluidity about these memoirs. They really were such a delight to read!
