In pulsating, polluted Kathmandu, and an idyllic village at the foot of the Himalayas, ‘Doctor Jane’ and her engineer husband Simon hope to make a difference: Jane to fulfil her vision to heal and advocate for the poor, Simon to avert the floods that threaten to devastate the country every monsoon. And even as they take to the Nepali way of life, they find sanity, compassion and joy with baby David, who in England was little more than an ‘interesting case’.
A moving, candid story of courage, love and a family’s determination to give their child the best life possible, A Glimpse of Eternal Snows is a must read.
