Ethel Mulvany carried this bible with her during her time in Changi Prison. While its words provided spiritual support, Ethel once turned to it for a more literal form of nourishment. She ate the spine off the book, reasoning that the glue, made of horses’ hooves, would contain desperately needed protein.
