CRY OF THE CURLEW
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
Sarah knew what it was. It was that time of the year, part of the farming cycle when the lambs were taken from their mothers to be weaned. The ewes frantic calls re-bounded on the hillsides, in the vain hope that they would hear the familiar answering cry of their lambs and they would return to them. It would go on ceaselessly night and day until all hope was lost in the silence from their lambs. A verse from the Bible came unbidden into Sarah`s head,-------``A voice heard in Ramah-----lamentation and bitter weeping----- Rachel weeping for her children-----because they were no more.`
