Aprašymas

'No Turning Back' is a story of courage and resilience. Young Australian anthropologist Louise Davitt embarks on an Ethiopian field trip and tries to implement change in the lives of African women. Living with some of the world’s poorest people, she is immersed in their culture. In her adventurous, passionate and unconventional way, she pursues independence which leads her to life-changing situations – often thrilling, sometimes dangerous. A love triangle threatens trauma, illness and loss.
The story is set against actual political, cultural and historical events. Stretching from the great Ethiopian famine of 1984-85 to the present day, No Turning Back takes readers on a walk with the Hamar tribe, to rural Australia, the UK and to a poignant time in the US.
Louise’s son says of his mother: 'Mum has great faith in people. For her, life is only dark if we make it so.' Yet she is not a hero – just one who copes with life’s wounds, including HIV. Her personal grief turns to celebration as she taps the resilience learned from her grandmother and from the magical time spent with women of Ethiopia’s nomadic Hamar tribe. She turns a setback into a challenge to rebuild her life and the lives of others.
