O knihe
Not many have had the rare experience of a passenger airplane turn back in mid-flight to pick them up from the Gobi desert, come close to arrest in Beijing's Tiananmen Square, gone searching in the wilds of Yunnan for rabies shots, lived through the SARS pandemic in China, or been evacuated from a war zone in an aircraft with standing room only.
Former BBC journalist Nora Curran vividly describes these and other extraordinary events in TAPESTRY OF A LIFE. Beginning with her childhood on a Greek island, she takes readers on a modern odyssey that spans three continents. Her observations along the way show how people from different backgrounds, and cultures interact, often in amusing and surprising ways. Curran's account follows historic changes and customs, as well as human behavior, with the analytical eye of a seasoned observer. It promises an interesting ride and it does not disappoint. TAPESTRY OF A LIFE is a page-turner from beginning to end.
