Carluccio's Angel

What is Marta doing, sitting in the airport lounge, wearing trainers and holding a rucksack? This forty-seven-year-old "Spoiled Rich Lady," as she calls herself, is ready to embark on a trekking journey, all alone, up and down the Himalayan hills. As soon as she sets foot in Kathmandu she has to learn that life does not always go as planned and that her trip has in store a number of surprises. Marta is faced with daily challenges and needs to overcome many fears. At the same time another journey takes place in her mind, from her childhood in Italy, all the way to her recent life and the traumatic events that finally led to Marta's arrival in Nepal.Marta's steep trail takes the reader along through the enchanting scenery and, slowly, into the birth of a new woman, looking backwards to her life, and forward to a new future.
