Letters from East Africa - A Brief Family Memoir

In 1964 Robin Gallop, a young export manager, set out from Cardiff on an extended business trip to East Africa. His heavily-pregnant wife, Jill, went with their little boy to stay with her parents in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Neither suspected that Robin would be caught up in an armed insurrection in Africa, though Jill's difficulties with her parents were more predictable.Now, nearly 50 years on, their son has woven their daily letters and his own thoughts and memories into a poignant true-life story of a young family coping with separation as the world changes around them.
