The Unravelling Of Me

“I felt like I was an alien on a desolate planet full of misery and darkness.” On Valentine’s Day 2010, Dr Pranessa Govender found herself in a strange and unfamiliar position – she was neither a doctor nor a patient, but a wife sitting outside a hospital casualty, anxiously waiting to hear good news about her husband’s condition. Instead she discovered a very fine line between sanity and insanity. And the life, love and all the meaning she knew dissipated in an instant. Thus began her arduous battle between life and death. “A very moving and deeply thought-provoking book. I was brought to tears by the author’s heart-wrenching yet inspirational and touching journey. Many beautiful ideas are expressed in the book, my favourite being ‘our intimate journeys are our own’.” - Editor’s comment
