This lovely book is about Petra's rise to success from growng up in the communist Czech Republic to becoming a supermodel in Paris, Milan, New York and London. She meets her soul mate - Siddy - a photographer in London and falls in love. It is no literary master piece, nor does it pretend to be. It starts and finishes with a very personal account of Petra and Siddy experiencing the Tsunami, Boxing day 2004. Lets just say, I finished this book in tears and my boyfriend was woken at 3am with me telling him I loved him.
