Dying in the Sun by Peter Palangyo

Hello Readers, I have just joined you today and have already found books I want to read. This is also to announce that I have just published an e-book through Amazon. The title of my book is DISLOCATION ~ a moving story of a turbulent childhood.
It charts my birth in Kenya right up to my 18th birthday, with much travel between Kenya, Tanzania, England and Scotland, as our family followed my father to remote locations all over East Africa. Best wishes Lucy Lang

A memoir about my chaotic childhood between Tanzania and Scotland. It's entitled Dislocation. All the best, Lucy Lang
