Ævisögur
When a military coup in Ghana leads to the abrupt closure of Lally Pia's medical school, she is stranded thousands of miles away from her family - and left with no educational prospects, no money, and a botched American Green Card. But a Sri Lankan priest told Lally's father that she will one day become a "Doctor of Doctors" - a laughable outcome, given her current predicament.
This multicultural roller coaster illustrates the power of self-determination as Lally takes on obstacle after obstacle - an abusive relationship, the welfare state and a gruesome job where she has to dismember human bodies - in order to fulfill her dreams. A searing examination of the immigrant experience. The Fortune Teller's Prophecy is a nail-biting, four-continent quest for ultimate triumph.
