Když Sarah Macdonaldová opouštěla koncem osmdesátých let po několikaměsíčním pobytu Indii, zapřísahala se, že se už do téhle země nikdy nevrátí. O jedenáct let později však znovu přijíždí do Dillí za svým snoubencem. Odlet do nejšpinavějšího města na světě bere jako oběť, kterou musí přinést své lásce. Krátce po příjezdu Sarah těžce onemocní a bojuje o život. I po rekonvalescenci ji stále pronásledují otázky, které si kladla tváří v tvář hrozící smrti: Jak je to vlastně s lidskou smrtelností?

Ein Cottage in Cornwall, ein liebevoller Mann - für Anna scheint das Leben endlich wieder im Lot, seit sie Ian geheiratet hat.

So, you're having a teenager? Congratulations/commiserations. Worried about drugs? We recommend Valium, wine and HRT. Happy you survived the toddler tantrums? Let us introduce you to the eye roll, the cold shoulder and the incoherent mumble. On the bright side, you've reduced your need for Google - your adolescent is now able to frequently correct, hector and lecture you with their strong opinion on everything. And if you feel tired, you're not imagining it. Teen years are like dog years: for every year your teen ages, you age seven. You need a survival guide for the testing times ahead. Friends, next-door neighbours and fellow mums of teens Sarah Macdonald and Cathy Wilcox have lived through it all and produced this straight-talking, not entirely sarcastic, informative guide to what for many parents are the most challenging - but interesting and exciting - years in the role. From A is for Argumentative, Awkward and Angst, to Z is for Zits and Zzzzzs. Because having a toddler is a doddle.

After backpacking her way around India, twenty-one-year-old Sarah Macdonald decides she hates the country with a passion. And when a beggar at the airport reads her palm and insists that she will one day return - and for love - she gives India, and him, the finger. But eleven years later, his prophecy comes ture. When the love of her life is posted to New Delhi, she leaves her dream job as a radio DJ in Sydney to follow her fiance to the most polluted ciry on earth. It seems like the ultimate sacrifice and it almost kills her - literally. One smoggy night, a sadhu smeared in human ashes curses her and she fall dangerously ill with double pneumonia. She survives, but not before she has faced some serious questions about her own morality and inner void, not to mention unsightly hair loss.--

Poetry can be healing. It can break the heart and heal it. Let it touch you and you'll feel it. The scars here are real, but may it guide you through your own struggles, let you see that you're not alone, show solidarity, and, at the end, provide you hope.
