Most people would have collapsed under the weight of such tragic devastation. But Monica, a survivor of note, now finally tells the story of her rollercoaster ride of a life, in the much anticipated memoir Love. Loss. Life. This poignantly honest tale of love, loss and life, brilliantly written in Monica\2019s unique acerbic style, is a story of deep passion, crushing let downs, new beginnings, huge humour and the renewal of hope. It is also a book filled with penetrating insights into a South Africa in the \201990s, in political transition. It sees Monica hurtling through war-zones of Africa with the men in her life \2013 Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Uganda and Egypt \2013 to Britain, Europe and America, delightfully written in a travelogue style. Fundamentally Love. Loss. Life. is a survival story, where fate and personal choices meet with tragic results. Despite often teetering on the brink of eternal darkness, Monica learns that the power of the body\2019s natural life force is to survive and is impossible to extinguish. She also discovers humour and female bonding to be a miraculous antidote on even the darkest of days"--Jacana Media website. 000718323 60010 $$aZwolsman, Monica. 000718323 650_0 $$aBereavement. 000718323 650_0 $$aLoss (Psychology) 000718323 650_0 $$aLife. 000718323 650_0 $$aHope. 000718323 650_0 $$aLove. 000718323 85200 $$bgen$$hBF575.G7$$iZ86$$i2014 000718323 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:718323$$pGLOBAL_SET 000718323 980__ $$aBIB 000718323 980__ $$aBOOK
