Synopsis

This Photomemoirs book is by Ruth McKenzie Bird. She was born in Aberdeen in 1931 but didn't stay long enough to get to know it. An only child with a vivid imagination, she was whisked off to the Far East, caught up in the events of the Second World War, and raised to adulthood on the African continent. She almost made it back to the UK to start a more sedate adult life there, only marriage to a young army officer put paid to that...Ruth wrote about her peripatetic life in her trademark turquoise ink, hence the name of this book, and we - her family - think that you might enjoy the funny and frank observations that she wrote about as much as we have.
