  1. Andrew Boyd

    Free at Last is a short sequel to the original brief volume Blasphemy. It’s written by French journalist Anne-Isabelle Tollet, in the style of a first-person account by Asia Bibi.

    This is an important book, because it details the trials and tribulations of this faithful Christian woman who became an international cause célèbre and a figure of hate for extremists in Pakistan. But there are also some important omissions… You can read my review here.
