"Singing to the Goldfish" - Surrey Author secures Book of the
Month Award
Bretwalda
Books have today announced that their Independent Panel of Readers have Dorset-set
novel chosen "Singing to the Goldfish" to be this month's Book of the
Month.
Editorial Director Rupert Matthews says “It
was the charm and nostalgia of this memoir that won the award for "Singing
to the Goldfish".
About
the Book
After a teenage encounter with a
clairvoyant reading her tarot cards Beverley Pettifar ran off to marry a
dashing, handsome army sergeant major, only to be ostracised by her family. The
eloping couple then embarked on a colourful odyssey around the world, seeing
the British Empire in its dying days and collecting recipes for the dishes of
Empire. And to eventual healing of the family rift.
Born in London shortly before the outbreak
of World War 2, at 16, Beverley Pettifar shed the shackles of her (mainly)
convent-school education and at 17, after visiting a clairvoyant, ran off to
marry George, a Sergeant-Major in the Royal Fusiliers, before moving to a flat
in the Tower of London.
This is their story: hilarious and tragic
in turn - covering much travelling, many countries - and for Bev. several
‘careers’ - ending in London, after six years with an American University.
Still married to George and now living in
Surrey, Bev has 5 grand-children and one great-grandson.
