Produktbeschreibung
The remarkable true story of a pact made with the Virgin Mary at Lourdes: in 2000, after having being diagnosed with terminal cancer, Siobhán made a pilgrimage to Lourdes, where she prayed for more time with her children. When she checked into hospital 3 days later, her cancer had disappeared.
Siobhan was a Belfast girl from a working class family who grew up to become a university professor and world-renowned authority on English and Irish literature having been diagnosed with terminal cancer and all but given up for lost. In February 2000 she embarked on a pilgrimage to Lourdes after which her cancer completely disappeared. Her prayer had been answered. And even though, seven years later the cancer returned, Siobhan was able to die peacefully with the knowledge that her time had come. Renowned journalist and broadcaster Derek Jameson, Siobhan's father-in-law, and his wife Ellen unfold the remarkable life of this child of the Troubles and the unwritten pact she reached beside the holy grotto at Lourdes.

Derek is a former editor (Daily Express, Daily Star and News of the World) and Ellen a Fleet Street feature writer. After six years working in theatre in Miami, they have returned home to the Sussex coast, where Ellen runs a Razzamataz theatre school teaching song, dance and drama to children in Litlehampton.
