An Autobiography of Kindness, Joy, and Unexpected Delight. Follow 93-year-old Winifred Rowland's insightful recollections as she entertains us with wisdom, love, and humour. From humble Manchester squalor, she brings alive her view of history, through childhood WWII evacuation to present-day Covid-19 lockdown. Despite scars from haphazard schooling, she's determined to grab an education. Later, fate whisks her and her eccentric husband to a tiny, scenic Channel Island, where they raise their children steps from an idyllic sandy horseshoe bay. Missing family, she compares her old vibrant post-war city life to new quirky island traditions. But soon, sun-baked summers and colourful beach activities overcome her longing, and she wonders if it's possible to reciprocate the kindness and generosity of these islanders. Jolly jaunts to relatives in Italy and Australia will intrigue and have you trotting all over the globe. However, an astrological aspect shoots a recurrent warning to savour any happiness because it may not last. When many close relationships prematurely end, how does she confront her lifelong blight? Intimate, engaging, and moving; this remarkable story of an exceptional and inspirational woman will pique your curiosity and reveal we are not always in control of our destiny.
