Description
Thoughtful, beautifully written and brimming with tenderness, this is the story of two young women who make a life changing connection in Ethiopia. Sylvie is filled with hope and joy but her dreams are destroyed when a disastrous childbirth leaves her broken both emotionally and physically, facing rejection and isolation. Juliet is a feisty surgeon in London, about to embark on an extraordinary, rollercoaster of discovery in Africa.
This heart-wrenching, intelligent novel could be described as Gray's Anatomy on tour to Africa: an insecure female surgeon with a complicated and evolving love life; an Ethiopian patient with a powerfully moving tragedy in her background, greatly in need of help; and an unfolding drama which brings them both together.
A compelling life-story set in Ethiopia and London, written with exceptional grace.
Published with the support of global best-selling writer Alexander McCall Smith.
