The White Umbrella
A Novel | An irresistible tale of courage, kindness – and a donkey called Pawlowa
by Brian Sewell, Sally Ann Lasson
Description
On a journey through Pakistan, Mr. B, an unflappable English gentleman, spots a young donkey struggling under a crushing load. Her fragile legs tremble, her eyes plead for help. In a heartbeat, he makes a decision that will change both their lives: he will rescue her – and take her home to London.
But donkeys, as it turns out, don’t fly. And so begins an unforgettable adventure: man and donkey, side by side, trekking across the Middle East and into Europe, step by impro>bable step. Along the way, they discover not just the kindness of strangers, but the sheer, kaleidoscopic wonder of the world itself.
A charming gift book about friendship, wanderlust, and the courage to follow one’s heart – perfect for travelers, dreamers, donkey-lovers, and anyone who cherishes the kind of story you carry with you for a lifetime.
