With a high flying career, a renowned surgeon as a husband, and four gorgeous children, Ulla-Carin Lindquist is a woman who seemingly has everything. Then, on her fiftieth birthday, she is suddenly diagnosed with ALS, an aggressive and incurable form of motor neurone disease. Within a year, Ulla-Carin will die.
'Rowing Without Oars' is the story of this final year. In writing striking for its honesty, simplicity and unexpected humour, Ulla-Carin describes how it feels to be losing control of her life, and to know that soon she will die and leave her beloved husband and children.
The result is a heart-breaking book. It is also one of the most inspiring and uplifting memoirs of recent years.
