Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - MY MOTHER, A SELF-MADE OUTCAST I have a childhood memory of my mother's satisfied and smiling approval whenever I readily replied: 'I'm English.' I've forgotten what exactly preceded that kind of exchange between us. Come to think of it, that was strange because no one had ever asked us whether we were English. My sister and I are English, through and through. Both of us were born in Horsham, Sussex. My abiding memory of my mother is her brown eyes and black long lashes as she kissed and tickled me. When I was in my teens, I wished I had her long black hair with a tint of brown. I imagined that my friends would admire the way my hair swayed as I walked. I could still see her glossy hair moving as she walked. My mother doesn't have the complexion of an English person. She resembles some of the Spanish women we've seen when we've been to Spain for our holidays. It was by accident that I found out that she comes from the Philippines. We've never been to the Philippines. She's never talked about the Philippines. I've never seen anyone from the Philippines in our house. ROSA (2013): '?you have in many subtle ways spelled out the life journeys of so many Filipinos.' WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO ENGLAND (2014) '? is a very fascinating and enjoyable read. You have a gift of drawing your readers in and making them want to read on. I honestly couldn't put it down yesterday.'.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - What Brought You to England It is the 1980s. A Filipina, Eve, goes with her husband, Andrew, when he returned to England after working as a British volunteer in the Philippines for four years. Due to limited finances, they have no choice but to live with Andrew's parents, and the situation is not helped when Andrew experiences difficulty in finding a job as a clinical psychologist. The meeting of different backgrounds and cultural expectations causes strain, and there is palpable generational tension. For Eve, opportunities to find work in England prove nonexistent as she finds that her degree in history and career in the National Museum of the Philippines count for nothing. As she reinvents herself, she experiences undercurrents of racism, but she also succeeds in training to be a nurse. Her personality and Filipino upbringing inevitably impacts on how she copes with marriage, parenthood, work, and friendships.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - To pursue her dream of a better future, Rosa sought work overseas. Leaving her husband and three children in the Philippines, she found out quickly that, when it comes to domestic work abroad, one has to forget one's own needs and desires. She saw this as her fate and God's will. Chores had to be completed to the satisfaction of her foreign employers, whilst her dedication in taking care of their children was second to none. The Philippines, Singapore and England are vastly different worlds. Mastering her anxieties, she tackled unfamiliar tasks she never dreamt of - using washing machines, cooking with spices and wine, and handling fragile wine and spirit glasses. For this, she was paid much more than what many teachers in the Philippines earned in a month. This is Rosa's story - the story of an individual person's drive to improve her lot in life, in the context of the Philippine economic conditions.
