Indelible Memories


Book Description

"A few years ago Eugenie allowed me to read the first draft of her book, which is an autobiography, a memoir, a novel, a comic strip, a reflection. It swept me away into another life. Eugenie maintains she wrote it just for herself, something she wanted to do with no plan to share with the world, she declared; it just fell out of me onto the page. Well.... she has relented and is sharing it now. Rob Last Book lover, especially autobiographies. Teacher. World traveler. Theatre lover and sometimes critic. Eugenie’s writing is open and honest, unpretentious and simple, witty and gritty, funny and moving, exotic and adventurous and brimming with truth. It ’s a book about a grand life journey, with marvelous illustrations dotted throughout to add to the joy of it all. Don’t miss the chance to be delighted by this book."
