Ten years. Ten cities. One question that changes everything.
What if there were no more war? No hunger? No prisons?
It sounds like a dream.
For Anna Zaugg, thirty, Switzerland's foreign minister, mother of three, and chronically underslept, it is simply everyday life. Once a year she meets women from all over the world, in Dubai, Geneva, Cape Town, Rio, Bali. They talk about the future, argue about the past, and sit in saunas that are far too hot.
And something grows there that is bigger than politics: Friendship. Family. And the realization that peace is not a condition but a decision, made anew every morning.
World Peace tells of a world that is different from ours, and asks whether it might be a better one. A story about women who don't stop. And about pancakes that taste best when everyone is at the table.
