This book is following the journey of the author through her life in the 20th Century in a changing world.It is written in a freestyle recording significant events that impacted the author’s life. It gives family and personal history unique to the author with perceptions of life starting in Cape Town South Africa and travelling to the UK to train in a profession that influenced the author’s life for many years, picking up experiences that made an impression on a young life influencing decisions as she experiences maturing in working and social environments. It is written in chronological order mostly but as memories become relevant to the narrative there is a jump in time.Some of the events are recalled in the past tense but there was an event that had to be recorded in the present tense because it gives the flavour of my parent and family scene which is very different from what would have been had the event been in the present day. It was that of my husband -to -be proposing marriage by letter and getting permission from my parents. Some would say those were Victorian values. I hope that what comes across in the book is someone who faced challenges and found ways to overcome them whilst maintaining a sense of humour and lightness that demonstrates a woman that is resilient and who lives by principles of trust, respect, dignity and recognition that people have their own history that shapes their personality and helps to cope with life.
