A Moving Experience

The Inspiration For This Novel Came To Lesley-anne When She Realised At Her Fathers Funeral That Although Shed Known Him Her Whole Life, Shed Never Taken The Time To Ask Him More About His Life Before She Was Born. She Resolved Not To Let The Same Thing Happen To Her Children, And That She Would Therefore Tell The Story Of How She Was Born In Brazil And Grew Up In Nigeria, Switzerland, Boarding School, Kenya, Nursing, Up To Her Marriage In 1979 And The Birth Of Her Two Children. The Thread That Weaves Through And Holds Together The Story Is Lesleys Volatile Relationship With Her Mother, Which Stands In Contrast To Her Close Relationship With Her Grandmother With Which Many People Can Identify.
