An Inconvenient Yeartells of how one woman’s life was turned upside down on being diagnosed with cancer. Within 24 hours she went from being an active, healthy, outgoing wife and mother to being a person with a hospital file and breast cancer. Yvonne tells her story with a searing honesty, a poignant humour and disarming flashes of anger. She documents the impact she felt on her womanhood, her marriage, her parenting and her friendships. Disbelief, denial, vanity and fear all go into the unique mix that is this account of a cancer diagnosis.
It is a raw tale that is full of ordinary life addressing not just the emotional impact on the person in the eye of the storm but so too on the onlookers, the bystanders and the hand-holders who endeavour to control what is left to control. An Inconvenient Year is a naked portrayal of modern life in all its colours.
