The Fortunicity of Birdie Dalal by Claire Duende
A life torn down. A life rebuilt. A story of kindness and hope.
The year is 1972. President Idi Amin has a prophetic dream and evicts thousands of Asians from Uganda. Birdie and her Cambridge educated husband Jack arrive in London with their young son Mohin.
From a life of comfort, they are now penniless refugees determined to make a fresh start.
But Birdie's plan to succeed is put to the test when an innocent victim reaches out for help and the reverberations from Idi Amin's reign of terror are felt once again.
An uplifting tale of triumph over despair - and not turning away from our true path.
Duende, Claire: - Claire Duende was born in Ghana, West Africa of an English father and Spanish mother. She lived in Spain and Beirut before growing up mainly in Oxfordshire, England - a happy country childhood where she would spend many Sunday afternoons avoiding homework by watching old films with the wonderful Sabu. Claire has spent most of her life working as a designer and lives in an old cottage in Cornwall, England with her husband and four dogs. Their son and daughter are now grown and have fled the nest but often come back to fill the house with light and laughter. The Fortunicity of Birdie Dalal is Claire Duende's first published book.
