Islands of sunshine and shadow

DESCRIPTION

TitleIslands of sunshine and shadow Personal AuthorBlestel, Bernard, AuthorDescriptionIslands of sunshine and shadows is the story of an extraordinary man living through ordinary times, or perhaps it is the story of an ordinary man living through extraordinary times. From his childhood in the off-shore British island of Guernsey which was pretty idyllic, except for the very difficult matter of not knowing who his true parents were, to a chaotic time spent in England as a child refugee from the II World War, to where he now lives in Frankston, Southern Australia, there have been numerous good and bad times to deal with as he sometimes stumbled or hurtled along on his journey. Bernard Blestel's life story will revive details and memories that are familiar to many readers, and will undoubtedly open the eyes of many others whose lives have taken different paths. His generosity of spirit casts a shining light on the way that he has dealt with all his adventures. There is courage, humour and compassion in this true story of a man who climbed out of the shadows and into the sunshine.Physical characteristics370 p.
