520 1 $a"Molly Benson longs to be useful, and forges ahead by giving away sums of her own money in a rather messy manner. In Princeton, New Jersey, where she has always lived, Molly is viewed as eccentric by the upper-class world that her mother inhabits. Equally puzzling to people is Molly's passion for Graham Greene and his novels; she believes that their intermittent correspondence has afforded them a special bond.
520 8 $aAfter the death of her brother, Molly loves Greene more than anyone, and it is he who inspires her to answer to conscience.".
520 8 $a"It is in honor of the great novelist, a year after his death in 1991, that Molly leads a small delegation to Algiers, where a fierce civil war has just begun. Molly's plan is to give money to Algerian journalists and writers so that they will be able to protect themselves from the fundamentalists, who are killing the enemies of Islam. It does not occur to Molly that she is putting herself, her best friend, Bertie Einhorn, and a young, garrulous English historian, Toby Plunkett, in danger.
520 8 $aHer courage and an inbred sense of self-entitlement - a characteristic of the small Princeton world she scorns - blind her to the possibilities of harm, and the odd little group marches to disaster."--BOOK JACKET.
