I Sat Random: So Help Me G-d
Gillian Scott has produced an autobiography peppered with Poetry and allegorical anecdotes.
Born in England of British parents, she spent most of her years in Spain.
Her early years in England paint a vivid picture of the multicultural environment of the time coupled with the adventures of a young, liberated woman.
As she goes on to raise a family in turbulent Spain, we get a glimpse of how real, down to earth, people interacted with the strong Andalucían culture in times of change.
We also get to see how people of position moved in that cauldron of future democracy. As the book unfolds we get to see how private and business people grappled with the bureaucracy of the time; the good and the bad of an expat community trying to make a living and raise a family in Spain.
We travel with her through a time of personal growth and purification; then on to a time of demeaning degradation only to be with her as she rebuilds her life and regains her family.
Interspersed with knowledge of “fire retardant landscapes”, “alternative lifestyles”, “recovering from adversity” and “moving in the world of the privileged”, we are taken on a life’s journey full of more adventures than most of us could dream of, with its ups, downs and near escapes.
Her story is a thrilling ride, populated with interesting people and many surprises.
