Terrence Perera (terrenceperera) | 37 comments Sri Lankan and Zimbabwean Memories by Terrence Perera

The book is a collection of autobiographical reminiscences of the author’s life, mainly in Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe. The author has also lived in Australia, Zambia and Canada.
He came to Zimbabwe with his family in 1981 just after that country obtained independence. The book explores his personal experiences in Zimbabwe. It relates, particularly in the chapter, “The Mount Pleasant Sports Club”, of how the author overcame racial prejudices and formed intimate, lasting friendships with many of his White colleagues. https://www.amazon.com/author/terrenc...
