The Flame Lily Weeps

This unique autobiography describes the life of a white Zimbabwean growing up in Zimbabwe-Rhodesia.
It reveals and elucidate the perspectives and truth of poignant issues in the country’s transition from a British colony to an independent, one-party state, giving an insight into the build up to the political and economic anarchy that has thrown Zimbabwe into a financial abyss and that transformed a one time flourishing country into a land ravaged by hunger, disease and poverty.

    I think it will be helpful to the author here if "Anonymous" can elaborate on the book a little more than just to say interesting read. I think for all of us on here who are writers any comments be it kind or harsh would be welcome. I think we all live in the real world and can take everything on board to further hone our craft.

    Kind Regards

    This is a good book as it describes the expereinces of a white Zimbabwea growing up in Africa from a very positive viewpoint. It is not overly political which is nice. There are some very interesting photographs included of the family. Well done!

Earning a Crust - Logic doesn’t come into it

Fascinating and engaging autobiography of career after Royal Air Force service. By Derek Rosser The author’s literary efforts covering his experiences as a National Serviceman in the RAF in the 1950s (A Reluctant Recruit) generated such a favourable reception, so much so that he embarked on a second, more or less true, account of his life as a typical boy growing up in the thirties and forties (Call Me Valentine). This is his third book, completing the trilogy. It is the account of what happened to him after leaving the Royal Air Force; it is the story of a long, and mainly happy, interesting working career. The author Derek Rosser says: “For the best part of forty years I was engaged in trying to earn enough money to keep body and soul together. Some of it was enjoyable, some of it was frustrating and some of it was downright misery….” …Find out more… ‘Earning a Crust’, an entertaining read! “A fascinating autobiography” …publishedbestsellers.com
