A Moving Experience

About the Book

The inspiration for this novel came to Lesley-Anne when she realised at her Father’s funeral that although she’d known him her whole life, she’d never taken the time to ask him more about his life before she was born.  She resolved not to let the same thing happen to her children, and that she would therefore tell the story of how she was born in Brazil and grew up in Nigeria, Switzerland, boarding school, Kenya, nursing, up to her marriage in 1979 and the birth of her two children.

The thread that weaves through and holds together the story is Lesley’s volatile relationship with her mother, which stands in contrast to her close relationship with her grandmother with which many people can identify.  This memoir serves as an example for others to follow to leave as part of their legacy and share their lives with their children and descendents before they’ve passed away and taken their memories with them.

About the Author

Lesley-Anne Mould was born in Brazil, has travelled extensively and now lives with her husband in England, in her 25^th home.

After boarding school she studied at Kianda College in Nairobi, Kenya and went on to work as a secretary at the University of Nairobi.

She became an RGN in 1975 and qualified as a theatre nurse in 1980 having worked in numerous hospitals.

Craving some stability after her nomadic childhood, she vowed that she would never marry a man who travelled.  That was not to be.  Since her marriage and the birth of her two children she has continued to ride the global merry-go-round.

She still has many unusual and amusing stories to tell and is contemplating writing a sequel to A Moving Experience.

Although Lesley-Anne enjoys living in the countryside with her many animals, she is imbued with an insatiable wanderlust and knows that, one day, she will be moving on.

Her destination remains a mystery.
