Publisher's Synopsis
In her fascinating memories of an extremely unusual upbringing spent travelling the world, Janet Buchanan-Wilson takes the reader on a true odyssey -- from her pre-war early years in Japan, via Australia, India, America, China -- and Cumberland -- to Oxford University in the mid-1950's. The many wartime and post-war hardships and deprivations are detailed with humour, and complex family relationships are explored with honesty and insight.
