Every purchase helps someone affected by leprosy
Aged just seven, Suzanne Heywood set sail with her parents and brother on a three-year voyage around the world. What followed turned into a decade-long way of life, through storms, shipwrecks, reefs and isolation, with little formal schooling. No one knew where they were most of the time and no state showed any interest in what was happening to the children. Suzanne fought her parents, longing to return to England and to education and stability. This memoir covers her astonishing upbringing, a survival story of a child deprived of safety, friendships and schooling. At seventeen Suzanne earned an interview at Oxford University and returned to the UK. ˜This is a story of an epic childhood journey, so exciting and so shocking it is hard to know whether you're reading about a dream or a nightmare¦ Wavewalker is thrilling, horrifying, beautifully written “ I couldn't put it down' Ed Balls
