Dear Zoe Ukhona
Author: Pelle Hvenegaard
Publisher:
ISBN: 9788797215807
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
BEST RATED BOOK OF 2018 AND 2019 on Mofibo, Denmark's biggest e-book and audiobook platform. When one summer evening, on a blind date that is almost cancelled, Pelle Hvenegaard meets Caroline, he knows right away: This woman will be the mother to his children. Their first meeting grows into a blazing romance, and it is quickly clear that the two of them want to have a family together - but biology toys with them. Dear Zoe Ukhona is Pelle Hvenegaard's honest, comic, tragic and heartwarming tale of the six-year fertility and adoption hell he and his partner had to go through before they could open the door to their apartment in Copenhagen with little Zoe Ukhona in their arms.We follow Caroline and Pelle's arduous inner journey, but we are also with them when - to keep themselves going - they travel to five continents before climbing to the top of Kilimanjaro to call out to their coming child, unaware that she had in fact been born just twenty days earlier in South Africa. This is a story of love and of dealing with life when it doesn't go the way you planned. A story about searching for happiness and meaning - and the joy of finding them both. From the foreword by Zindzi Mandela: "... on top of being a book about battling childlessness, it's a story of hope, a story of love, a story of fighting for happiness ... it's a story about the meaning of life." PELLE HVENEGAARD became world famous as a twelve-year-old when he played the lead role in Bille August's Oscar-winning film Pelle the Conqueror. He has a degree in journalism and has worked in the TV industry for many years. This is his first of three books.

Book Description
(Applause Books). "I find John's critical writing immensely entertaining even when I'm not in agreement... He has the gift, such a rare one, of being able to analyze the work in question, to be able to say why it is that it's so powerful, so touching; or, on the other hand, so trite, so meretricious, or so banal... I find his reviews full of insights and perceptions that make reading a collection of this sort as exciting as reading a gripping novel. John's wit is dazzling and is never displayed for its own sake, but to drive home an aspect of the review... It was exciting for me to read through this collection and see such warm praise for so many films that I feel have been unjustly ignored." Bruce Beresford
