Ve stínu duhy - Příběh o životě v Pákistánu – Müllerová Marcela (2022)

From Vysočina to Peshawar, Pakistan. Imagine that you and your husband have just moved into a new house and are expecting your first child any day now. While still in the maternity hospital, you receive a special gift from your husband — a plane ticket to Peshawar, Pakistan — and you also learn that he has secured a position in a project focused on disaster prevention. Suddenly, you are faced with the prospect of spending two years in a country that you might just be able to find on a map, but the little you know about it could be summed up in two sentences. How does a new mother react to a new environment and an unfamiliar culture? What does the loss of freedom and a sense of safety in an unknown world mean for her? How does she cope with the fear of bomb attacks and the threat of kidnappings? The author captures her often hard-to-believe experiences against the backdrop of what really happened in Pakistan in 2007 and 2008, interspersed with diary entries. Let yourself be absorbed by the brisk narrative about a country with a rich cultural tradition and its rather quirky inhabitants.
