The inspiration for this novel came to Lesley-Anne when she realised at her Father's funeral that although she'd known him her whole life, she'd 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 Lesley's volatile relationship with her mother, which stands in contrast to her close relationship with her grandmother with which many people can identify. This memoir serves as an example for others to follow to leave as part of their legacy and share their lives with their children and descendents before they've passed away and taken their memories with them.Mostra libro
As a child being read to was one of the greatest joys imaginable. A loved one would start a tale whilst you were all cosy warm in bed with the lights nodding off. Anything could happen but sleep would come and dreams would start and all was good with the world. Adults too long for reassurance, for comfort, for calm. Sometimes they may get that. But with classic authors such as Oscar Wilde, O Henry, Saki, Rabindranath Tagore and many others they may not. Expect the unexpected. 1 - Bedtime Stories for Adults - An Introduction 2 - Kabuliwallah by Rabindranath Tagore 3 - Springtime a la Carte by O Henry 4 - Kew Gardens by Virginia Woolf 5 - Speed by Sinclair Lewis 6 - Tobermory by Saki 7 - The Ransom of Red Chief by O Henry 8 - The Selfish Giant by Oscar Wilde 9 - The Burglar's Christmas by Willa Cather 10 - Transients in Arcadia by O Henry 11 - An Angel in Disguise by T S Arthur 12 - The Skylight Room by O Henry 13 - The Magic Shop by H G Wells 14 - The Gift of the Magi by O Henry 15 - The Happy Prince by Oscar Wilde 16 - The Great Good Place by Henry JamesMostra libro
