• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A beguiling street boy in a Kampala market. An innocent victim reaching out in despair. What do they mean to Birdie and how can she help when her own life is being torn down around her?

When Birdie and her family are thrown out of Uganda by the tyrant Idi Amin they lose everything. London seems cold and inhospitable. The future looks bleak.

But then an unexpected invitation to a weekend in the country arrives from Jack's old Cambridge University friends and life starts to look up. Birdie resolves to succeed in her new life - until a disturbing incident brings back echoes from Amin's reign of terror and Birdie finds she needs to make choices.

A poignant tale following Birdie's journey from her comfortable life in 1970s Uganda to a new beginning in England, and the lessons she learns about kindness and hope along the way.

Autorenporträt

Claire Duende was born in Ghana, West Africa of an English father and Spanish mother. After a few years living in Beirut and Spain, she grew up primarily in the Oxfordshire countryside where she would avoid doing her homework on Sunday afternoons by watching old Hollywood movies. Among her favourites were films with Sabu.

Claire has spent most of her life working as a designer and lives in an old cottage in Cornwall, England with her husband and four dogs. Their son and daughter have now flown the nest but leave their city lives from time to time to bring light and laughter into the family home.
