Produktbeschreibung

With his marriage floundering, Owen Roberts gets involved with a female student at the university where he is a lecturer. An accusation of gross misconduct ensues, and now he stands to lose everything. While clearing out the attic, a diary Owen kept in 1967 comes to light. It records his voyage aboard the Merchant Navy ship Albatross. He had confined the diary and the traumatic memories to the dust and darkness of the attic many years before. Reliving that time as a deck boy nearly forty years before comforts him. It gives him temporary relief from his present situation, which is just as violent. Only in a different way. But can he survive the present storm?

Autorenporträt

David was born in Swansea. The first time he left Wales was on a weekend trip to London when he was fifteen years old. The travel bug must have bitten him, because a few years later he joined the Merchant Navy and spent six years travelling all over the world. He came to London again in his late twenties, and this time settled down here, marrying and having a son. His interest had turned to psychiatry, and he spent a long period working in this field in the NHS. Attracted to teaching, he then become a university lecturer in Mental Health. He obtained a BA (Hons) in Psychology with Sociology and an MA in Healthcare Teaching. Now retired, he has more time for his three great passions: creative writing, photography and languages.
