Produktinformationen zu „The Wild Geese and the North East Wind (ePub)“
The story begins in Cuba when Julian Hamilton, aged eighty and after a life as a famous writer, is confronted with Victoria, his daughter, whose existence he was unaware of. Julian has been spending his retirement and final days of a life that began with the conflicting dilemma he experienced as a young student after leaving Princeton University, USAa conflict that people have between their belief in themselves and their emotional lives. For the writer and painter, it is a greater burden and more onerous than the many people who have to decide whether to sacrifice ambition for a sense of responsibility toward love and family life.
After Princeton, Julian gets married but soon finds that following lifes normal format impairs the necessary dedication to evolve as a writer. Fearful of the emotional restrictions that come with full commitment, he leaves his wife to follow the romantic dream of coup de foudre or love at first sight. He meets Rebecca serendipitously, who gives him the necessary inspiration, and they go traveling on an ancient Triumph Speed Twin motorbike, heading towards Morocco with no sense of responsibility. Things go wrong, which fractures their passionate relationship, leaving them in a state of despair. Rebecca is raped and becomes pregnant, and Julian goes into a monastery to make a clean break in order to establish a balanced perspective of the situation. They separate, and Rebecca is left facing a lifetime of unhappiness.
The book contains romance, suspense, tragedy, travel, and some thriller action of rape, murder, and sex. The doomed lovers final curtain falls in Barcelona when Julian chooses his art over lovesomething he lives to regret.
The novel will present some readers with the unsolvable question as to which path should be taken!

Autoren-Porträt von Dorian van Braam (the Elder)
The author is English with van Braam ancestors who were aristocrats and were titled. His great-grandfather (Jacob van Braam, son of Aeidguis van Braam) married Emma Wood, the granddaughter of Sir Mathew Wood, who was the mayor of the city of London and also the Whig MP. His father’s mother was Anglo-Irish and born in Wicklow, Southern Ireland. Dorian’s father was a Sussex farmer who brought Dorian up to be a farmer. Dorian had other ideas. He lived in several European countries—France, Ireland, and Spain for twelve years. He was educated in England and studied law and economics at Brighton Sussex. Afterward, he studied Spanish at Barcelona. Years later, as a mature student, he won a place at Oxford University and studied contemporary literature. He broke horses, is a qualified pilot, and drives a 1,000 cc motorbike. For twelve years, he was an entrepreneur for bottled water (De Braam Mineral Water company near Rathmolyon, County Meath, Ireland). After leaving the family farm and finishing his original studies, Dorian became an actor. He married twice and is hoping for number three before he becomes too old! When Napolean took over Holland in the late eighteenth century, two ancestors—Jacob van Braam and Andreaus Everadus van Braam Houckgeest—became American citizens. Both returned to the continent once Napolean was put out of action. Jacob was a friend of George Washington and became an officer in the American army. Andreaus was the ambassador in the Chinese court.
