A poignant and bittersweet memoir from the distinguished British
fiction writer Penelope Lively, "Oleander, Jacaranda" evokes the
author' s unusual childhood growing up English in Egypt during the
1930s and 1940s. Filled with the birds, animals and planets of the
Nile landscape that the author knew as a child, "Oleander,
Jacaranda" follows the young Penelope from a visit to a "fellaheen"
village to an afternoon at the elegant Gezira Sporting Club, one
milieu as exotic to her as the other. Lively' s memoir offers us
the rare opportunity to accompany a gifted writer on a journey of
exploration into the mysterious world of her own childhood.
