Claudia was led to write this book after years of listening to her father’s intriguing stories about his past experiences and witnessing his interaction with family members and friends. She was fascinated by these stories yet felt concerned that the arrival, often ill treatment as well as triumphs of West Indian immigrants just after the Second World War is a part of British history which isn’t taught in British schools and once that generation of pioneers eventually die, that part of history will die with them. Thus, it was with that thought in mind that she decided to retell in part her own father’s history.
Claudia’s loves include reading, writing stories and plays as we as performing in small drama productions. Yet despite this, she decided to qualify as a solicitor.
She is married with one child and lives in Romford, Essex.view less
