Produktinformationen zu „Just Keep a Bag Packed (ePub)“
Most memoirs are written by famous menimportant men who have led successful lives. One hears little of their wives except a thank you for your patience or a dedication in the introduction. This memoir is nothing like that. I have been married for fifty-two years, but you will scarcely find a mention of my husband in this book. This is my story. It is the story of a girl who left the still-war-torn United Kingdom and entered the confusing world of the Middle East. New languages, new customs, and a quick shift from the life of a single girl in Regents Park to a mother with a tiny baby in an Arab village with no doctors or other facilities, not even a telephone to call home. A sense of humor was required to survive, so I hope the reader will find the story amusing.
Autoren-Porträt von Edna Carr Green
Edna Carr Green was born in 1934 in the North of England. Growing up during the Second World War meant life was difficult and pretty grim. There were bombings and evacuations, rationing and shortages. Education was pretty patchy, but girls were just supposed to get married. Married in 1960, her husband took her to Lebanon where she learned Arabic, then on to the Gulf where she was a founder member of the Club in Abu Dhabi, which is still flourishing. India came next for seven years, and among other things, she worked alongside local ladies in a charity shop in Calcutta. In Saigon it was the Society des Lepreux that involved her along with other minor charities. After returning to the United Kingdom, she became a Citizens Advice Bureau volunteer for several years and then did a psychotherapy course and became a Samaritan. Now she works as a volunteer for the Royal Academy and the Victoria and Albert Museum.
