The White Umbrella - A Novel | An irresistible tale of courage, kindness - and a donkey called Pavlova

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 improbable 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.
