About this listen

Set in the foothills of the spectacular Himalayas, Australian surgeon Dr. Ray Hodgson and his exceptional team of volunteers battle to improve the lives of desperate Nepalese women. Tackling the overwhelming prevalence of genital prolapse and pregnancy loss in this exotic corner of the world, this spellbinding story details the struggles the team face as they strive to overcome scarce supplies, gender discrimination, and cultural roadblocks.

Brilliantly narrated by the author with absorbing, heartfelt emotion, Heartbreak in the Himalayas gives listeners a priceless insight into Nepal’s true culture and its intimate relationship with the health of its people. Dr Ray weaves his way into the heart of this captivating country, and shines a light on its hopes, heartbreaks, and exhilarating joy.

Dr Hodgson can add narration to his long and impressive list of talents. Heartbreak in the Himalayas is not only a journey through the picturesque mountains of Nepal, but a journey into your human identity. Poppy’s story is skilfully woven with a lesson in empowerment and humility. I challenge anyone to read this book and not be left with a burning desire to join the battle against inequality. A true call to arms.
