The House On The Sacred Lake

If you have ever travelled to South America you will know that life is played out quite differently from our warm and comfortable existences here in the UK.

Not only is life simpler and closer to nature than our often over-complicated world can be, but it is also more colourful, and the division between rich and poor can be off the scale.

This new book The House On The Sacred Lake is one woman‘s tale of life and adventure in one of the poorest countries in South America – Bolivia.

Margaret Joan Anstee travelled to Bolivia in 1960 as the UN’s resident representative, became a trusted advisor and friend to presidents and her love affair with the country remains undimmed by the passage of time. She tells of her personal journey of discovery, the turbulant political world of Bolivia and the warmth of her friends and neighbour.

This is a fascinating insight into one of the world‘s least understood regions of the world and a Rick Collective must-read.

The House On The Sacred Lake is by Margaret Joan Anstee and published by Book Guild Publishing. It costs £17.99.
