"He is neither a Valentino nor a Quasimodo, and if you don't know who they are, don't respond!" This stern admonition in a South African newspaper, May 1988, initiated the author's search for his third wife. Sixty one responses, and numerous rendezvous and meetings later, he found her: by no means all of them did know!
Crowns for Convoy is an autobiographical memoir of a full, varied and unordinary life. From wartime Liverpool, locations shift to Malaya, London, Thailand and, principally, South Africa. The book chronicles lifestyles gone forever, recounting regrets, changes of fortune, and serendipities.
The narrative style is dryly sardonic and succinctly mordant. The reader will find the journey absorbing, entertaining and unique.
