A new author’s first book written as the result of genealogical research into her mother’s past and her family. Based on a true story ‘Olga – A Daughter’s Tale’ is a family saga about love, heritage, culture, identity and belonging with an epic feel – from Jamaica to England amidst World War II.
Written in the form of diary entries and letters, it is about the cruelty, revenge and jealousy inflicted on an innocent young woman and about her moral courage, dignity, resilience and, in particular, love.
It is the story of a remarkable woman who, because of circumstances, made a choice which resulted in her losing contact with her beloved family in Jamaica until nearly half a century later when her daughter discovered her mother’s past.
