At 21 years old, Sophie is a young, energetic student whose life plans are interrupted by a rare form of cancer. But with the help of nine wigs, Sophie rejects the limitations of her diagnosis, as well as the limitations of identity, as she uses each one in turn to become a different version of herself: Cute, girlish Daisy. Enigmatic, sensual Oema. Sue, who can dance and flirt the night away. Stella. Blondie. Platina. Pam. Lydia. Bebé. Sophie is no object of pity, but a person who actively determines how she engages with her new world, and how the rest of the world engages with her. Part comedy and part drama, The Girl With Nine Wigs is a candid account of a self-proclaimed holiday from cancer, a way of accepting a formidable reality while choosing not to mourn it. Based on the bestselling autobiographical book by Sophie van der Stap
