Product Description
Product Description
From a freezing Mongolian nomad's ger to a hedonistic party complete with igloo in a Nepalese jungle, Libby Southwell has been to some amazing places, but they are places she'd never have seen if tragedy hadn't struck. She was a young successful Sydney advertising executive when her beloved fiance died in a mountaineering accident. Several other friends died soon afterwards, and Libby was plunged into numbing grief so strong she fled everything she knew. First, she went to Sri Lanka where she became chef for a millionaire Brit. Then, she headed off to trek in Nepal and Tibet, stayed with herdsmen in Mongolia, then went to France for a silent Buddhist retreat. Back in Sri Lanka and working in a luxury eco-resort, she survived dengue fever only to be swept up in the December 26 2004 tsunami. She made it out alive but then, bizarrely, developed acute appendicitis the same day - could there be worse timing? Libby survived that, too, as she has survived everything else life has thrown at her, emerging with her characteristic good humour and energy. She lives in Sri Lanka still and has set up a charity to revitalise the country's fishing fleet. This is her colourful, astonishing story.
