Three Brothers - Three Destinies
A happy, stable, normal childhood and family life should have been mapped out for the three brothers… Adrian was born in Nairobi, Kenya, in September 1948, having two elder brothers—Neil, four; and Justin, two. Disputes, infidelities and lack of love by their parents caused the three brothers much pain and suffering. Against his wife’s wishes, their father moved the family to a small farm he bought in the Nyeri Region. They suffered two violent attacks by Mau Mau warriors, in which eight people and two dogs were massacred. The family moved to Mombasa, then their father left for England, never came back, forced his wife to send the three brothers to him in England and she abandoned them forever to their fate. Then their father rejected and abandoned them forever and they spent time in dreadful orphanages. Their terribly unhappy childhood affected each one in different ways. After a long separation from his brothers, Adrian was reunited with them on some occasions but lost both of them, Neil to suicide and Justin to a tragic heart attack. These losses nearly destroyed Adrian, but after many twists and turns, he managed to survive and overcome to a certain extent all the unhappiness and tragedy, and make a new, happy and serene life for himself with his own family.
This family drama covers important themes, such as lack of love, rejection and abandonment by parents, catastrophic impacts on their children, unhappy childhood and misery of orphanage life, sordid sexual abuse, difficulties in adoption, lack of self-esteem, guilt complexes, severe depression, tragic losses of loved ones through desperate suicide and sudden, totally unexpected heart attack, with a message of hope, positivity and light that it is possible for a deeply injured and scarred person to cope with, survive and somehow overcome an unhappy childhood, sexual abuse by perverts and the tragic loss of loved ones and to forgive parents for the wrong, injustice, pain and suffering they have caused.

It is February 1942. Singapore had fallen. In the seismic shockwave that follows, John Fullwood is preparing to abandon his rubber plantation on Bougainville Island before the Japanese arrive.

The Anemone Bowl
“If the inability to see other than that which you wish to see can be considered a kind of heaven, then presumably the inability to escape self-knowledge must be one version of hell.”
The ill-fated consequences of happenstance: Born into an English country village community in the 1950s, a young boy is led, through a series of events over which he in effect has little or no control, to take the life of a neighbour’s child, and subsequently his own. And this is the tale, if there can be any, of the subsequent accounting.
The book itself is set in an ever-mutating afterlife that also provides an interim existence before rebirth – an illusory world where, of necessity, it is in large part conveniently repressed memories that hold sway, and where for Eric (if we can suppose that to be his name), each step forward is also leading (with some level of perversity) to the truths of his own personal past transgressions.
