Description
The Girl with Nine Wigs by Sophie van der Stap - Om Books
About the Book :When Sophie is diagnosed with a rare cancer around the lungs, she decides to live life afresh through nine wig-related invented realities. As wigs become a crucial part of Sophie�s new life, she reclaims a sense of self-expression. Each of Sophie�s nine wigs makes her feel stronger and gives her a distinct personality, and that is why each has its own name: Stella, Sue, Daisy, Blondie, Platina, Uma, Pam, Lydia, and Beb�. There�s a bit of Sophie in all of them, and they reveal as much as they hide. Sophie is determined to be much more than a cancer patient. With refreshing candour and a keen eye for the absurd, Sophie van der Stap�s The Girl With Nine Wigs makes you smile when you least expect it.
About the Author :Sophie van der Stap was 21 years-old when she was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. A striking, fun-loving student, overnight her world was reduced to the sterile confines of a hospital. But within these walls Sophie discovered a whole new world of white coats, gossiping nurses, and sexy doctors. Of shared rooms, hair loss, and eyebrow pencils. Sophie wrote of her experiences in her refreshingly candid book, The Girl with Nine Wigs. When it was originally published in The Netherlands in 2006, it became an instant bestseller and won the Bart Prize for “Making the Impossible Possible.” It also stormed the charts internationally. The Academy Award-winning producer Andreas Bareiss is currently adapting The Girl with Nine Wigs into a film.Sophie is currently working on two novels.Sophie is now 32 years-old and has lived for many years in Paris. Her cancer is in complete remission. She still occasionally wears wigs.
