The first volume, Pilgrimage, led the reader around the coastline, dazzled and enchanted by the complex interplay of rock and ocean. Labyrinth concludes this microscopic mission, opening up the interior and merging cosmic themes with the utterly personal.
"Robinson's language is fastidiously and finely wrought. It draws the reader on, hypnotically, not merely into Aran's fantastic interface of rock and sea, but into a revelation of total environment" .Michael viney, The Irish Times.

"This is a key book. Its theme is of vital concern and interest to the whole church today". Prof. Dr. Eberhard Bethge, Editor of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's works.
"Duchrow's analysis is the best introduction I know to the economy of neo-liberalism in the nineties. It makes me - and other beginners - understand ... why the rich are getting richer and the poor poorer ... what jobless growth means for an economy no more interested in people's work and living ... what the alternatives are that the Bible offers church folks and NGO's." Prof. Dr. Dorothee Sölle, Theologian.
