Description

What does it mean to devote yourself wholly to helping others? In 'Strangers Drowining' Larissa MacFarquhar seeks out people living lives of extreme ethical commitment, and tells their intimate stories: their stubborn integrity and their compromises; their bravery and their recklessness; their wrenching dilemmas.
