A bestseller in Holland and Germany
‘The Girl with Nine Wigs’ is the astonishing record of a year in the life of an extraordinary woman. As illness threatens her life she lives life to the full and when she most fears death she learns to seize the day. (De Telegraaf)
Sophie van der Stap is 21 years old when she is diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. A striking, fun loving student, overnight her world is reduced to the sterile confines of a hospital. But within these walls Sophie discovers a whole new world of white coats, gossiping nurses, and sexy doctors. Of shared rooms, hair loss and eyebrow pencils. As wigs become part of Sophie’s new existence she reclaims a sense of self expression. Each of Sophie’s nine wigs makes her feel different, gives her a different personality, and that is why each has its own name: Stella, Sue, Daisy, Blondie, Platina, Oema, Pam, Lydia and Bebé. There’s Sophie in all of them and they reveal as much as they hide… Sophie’s voice is refreshingly candid and with her keen eye for the absurd, she makes you smile, when you least expect it. Above all, this is the story of a girl who is determined to be much more than a cancer patient.
