Publisher Description: When she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer, writes Ananya Mukherjee, she was 'stunned and disappointed in myself but quickly found my resolve. I chose to fight cheerfully...with a deep belief and faith that I'd be okay.' Tragically, and for perhaps the first time in her life, her will could not overcome circumstances, and she lost the fight on 18 November 2018. But she left behind a host of memories for those who knew her, and a beautiful legacy for the world--an intimate and inspiring diary of her 'cheerful fight'. It is a book that makes light of the darker moments of cancer (comparing her balding head to the dishevelled crow on her windowsill); gives practical advice on gifts to bring a cancer patient (piping hot machcher jhol along with a good story or two); and gives an insight into what cancer patients dream of (a road trip to Jaisalmer and a gondola ride in Venice). |
