When Worlds Collide

What would you do if you came to the depressing conclusion that all the things you worked hard to get – big job, big bucks, big house, big car (oh, and a loyal husband to mow the lawn) – weren’t all they were cracked up to be? Most of us would just plod on regardless. Money, as they say, doesn’t make you happy but it does make you comfortable and keeps the wolves from the door. Lindsay de Feliz faced this dilemma and decided that plodding on wasn’t enough, not by a long chalk. She chucked in the fluffy designer towel, unclipped her wings and flew towards the sun. Eventually, the trade winds carried her to the Dominican Republic, a half-an-island country half a world away, a place that most of us know nothing about. Trust me, you’ll know a whole lot more by the end of ‘What About Your Saucepans?’  Lindsay de Feliz’s white-water ride of an auto-biography. The intrepid author swapped the daily grind of bourgeois life for a daily grind of an entirely different sort, a world where the wolves battered down the door and then ate you for lunch. But this is not the sorry tale of some deluded sankie lady (or VOMIT as I might say from my Turkey days) finding herself in hot water in a hot land. This is a pioneering and life-affirming story of love and survival written with sensitivity and panache.
