A Glimpse of Eternal Snows
A poignantly written memoir about a couple’s decision to volunteer in remote Nepal with their three young sons, one with a severe disability. Jane is a doctor and her husband is an engineer, and while they attempt to make a difference in the lives of the people they live and work amongst, they also strive to provide the best possible lives for their children. This includes baby David, whose alternative life is to be stocked up with medication and given daily blood tests in UK hospitals, as an ‘interesting medical case’.
A zoologist by training, Wilson-Howarth’s prose is wonderfully observant of the natural environment, and little David is bound to capture every reader’s heart.

... not only a funny and entertaining book, but it also open your eyes about natural diaster and how characters deal with it. The fact that Jane lives and works in Nepal makes her writing so personal, real and touching. I loved the humour and the cultural differences between the characters and their life perspecives. Beautiful insights.
