THE PHILIPPINE YEARS: A MEMOIR..."To be young and in love is a joyous thing in any decade, but to be young and in love and married to a travelling bus salesman in 1960s Manila is entirely another...!"
When young wife and newly qualified speech therapist Gina Wilson arrived in the heat and humidity and cultural diversity of the Philippines in 1964, she never imagined she would still be there fifteen years later; she never imagined their daughters would be born in Manila, and that it would be a country she would come to love greatly. With the Beatles and Mary Quant and CND marches of the UK left far behind, she tells a sensitive story of adjustment and fun and being taught to use chopsticks by an "illustrious Chinese gentleman".
Touching and insightful, these memoirs are a window into a very beautiful country, and its warm and generous people . . .
