The sixth of seven programmes written by JOHN KEAY Sands of Perdition with Frances Barber as Isabelle Eberhardt
Narrator John Rowe with Garard Green and Narissa Knights
In 1897, at the age of 20, Isabelle Eberhardt had her first sight of the Sahara. At once she fell under its spell. For the next seven years the desert was her life. But death in the desert, when it came, had a tragic irony which even Isabelle might have relished.
Producer ALAN HAYDOCK (R) Stereo (Frances Barber is a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company)
