A Spark of Hope in the Night is the powerful story of one woman’s search for purpose and fulfilment in a rich and turbulent life, spanning eight decades and four continents. Brought up in a world of privilege, strife and intrigue in wartime Switzerland, her eyesight ruined for decades by the trauma of escaping Nazi-occupied Paris, the drama of De Chollet’s life has never relented. Swapping the world of the great and good for one of tackling poverty, chauvinism and injustice, overcoming her shyness and periods of despair, hers is an inspiring story of a hard-won triumph over adversity. A Spark of Hope in the Night is an enthralling memoir, of a life in three distinct acts, proving there is always hope, a flash of light in the darkness.
