Why read it?
1 author picked A Gift of Love as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is a great guide to life in hard times. What struck me about it is that there is all sorts of wisdom in here that is less familiar to us than the most famous of Dr. King’s speeches.

From Corinne's list on The best books about the British Empire, by a UK historian.
