Description

Encounters with characters as diverse as an old lady on a train in Algeria, Princess Margaret and a man pushing a supermarket trolley across Australia are recalled with wit and humour in this unusual book. The author skilfully recreates the atmosphere of diverse foreign locations. Closer to home he muses on his own identity and family history. At birth we are thrown into a preordained world, into a social class with its own norms and values. In later life, wherever we journey, we carry with us this family baggage and by pure chance collide with others in the most unexpected circumstances. Such brief episodes may hold significance far beyond their everyday meaning.Peter Williams was born in Cardiff and spent six years reading Philosophy at university. He taught in Colchester and Cardiff and often spent the summer holidays cycling in Australia, the Americas and Asia where he obtained material for his writing. He is married and has two children.
