He was born in Congo-Brazzaville in 1976 and moved to Italy at the age of 4 with his parents and 6 siblings.Jadelin has published numerous short stories and three novels in Italian, the first one, Verso La Notte Bakonga (1999) at the age of 23. Rometta e GIulieo (2001) follows, then Due Volte , (2007). Rometta e Giulieo had been adapted for the theatre and was performed at the Arena del Sole, Bologna's historic theatre. He had appeared as an actor in a short film, Il Contratto (2002) directed by Guido Chiesa, and taught creative writing in multicultural centres, high schools, and a juvenile detention in Bologna. His work has been studied and written about in Italian literature departments across Europe. After spending one year in Barcelona, in 2006 he moved to the UK. His latest and most personal novel is his first written in English. Taking over 14 years to complete, Jadelin started the novel when he first arrived in the country and could barely speak the language. The project was discontinued many times due to the obvious language barrier, art and musical projects, and a career in acupuncture to pursue. Jadelin eventually persisted on his main project. The result is Ground . Check out more of our products at our shop

Finding Home A Windrush Story   RAF Veteran and Prince's Trust Awardee, Alford Dalrymple Gardner was one of the last living passengers to have travelled on the Empire Windrush. Now published in paperback, Finding Home is his stirring life story. On 22nd June 1948, the Empire Windrush sailed from Kingston, Jamaica, to harbour at Tilbury Docks. It carried 1,027 passengers and two stowaways, and more than two thirds of them were West Indies nationals. Alford Dalrymple Gardner was among them.Alford's story traverses both the uplifting highs and intolerant lows that West Indian migrants of his generation encountered upon travelling to Britain to forge out a life. From joining the British military during World War II to being forcibly deported back to Jamaica once it was won-only to come back to the UK when the government decided it needed him again-Alford witnessed milestone events of the 20th century that shaped the country he still lives in today.In the context of a supposedly 'post-Imperial' Britain where the lives of West Indian migrants hang precariously on the whims of the Home Office, Alford's heartening testimony is a celebration of those who endured hardships so that generations to come could call this place home.Today, Alford's portrait is a part of the Royal Collection Trust as commissioned by King Charles III in 2023, and he is a regular face and voice on the likes of The BBC, Channel 4, Sky News and more as his story continues to embody for all, the spirit of joyous resilience.  DETAILS : • Pages: 320• Publisher: Jacaranda books• Imprint: Jacaranda Books• Publication Date: 3rd October 2024• Trim Size: 128 x 196 mm• ISBN: 9781914344237• Format: Paperback  AUTHOR BIO: Alford Dalrymple Gardner (Author) Born in 1926 in Kingston, Jamaica, Alford Gardner first came to England in 1944 to support the war effort, serving in the RAF. After a brief stay back in Jamaica, he decided to return to England to help to rebuild the country. He boarded the HMT Empire Windrush intending to build a life in the country he once called home. Despite a less than accommodating welcome back, he persisted and succeeded in forging a better life for his family.In his later years, Alford spent all his leisure time at the bingo hall. When not playing bingo, he would watch sports or spend time with his family. A much fuller sense of Alford's life is conveyed in his autobiography: Finding Home .Alford passed away in 2024 at the age of 98. Check out more of our products at our shop

Ghost Season By Fatin Abbas   A dynamic, beautifully orchestrated debut novel connecting five characters caught in the crosshairs of conflict on the Sudanese border. A mysterious burnt corpse appears one morning in Saraaya, a remote border town between northern and southern Sudan. For five strangers on an NGO compound, the discovery foreshadows trouble to come. South Sudanese translator William connects the corpse to the sudden disappearance of cook Layla, a northern nomad with whom he's fallen in love. Meanwhile, Sudanese American filmmaker Dena struggles to connect to her unfamiliar homeland, and white midwestern aid worker Alex finds his plans thwarted by a changing climate and looming civil war. Dancing between the adults is Mustafa, a clever, endearing twelve-year-old, whose schemes to rise out of poverty set off cataclysmic events on the compound.Amid the paradoxes of identity, art, humanitarian aid, and a territory riven by conflict, William, Layla, Dena, Alex, and Mustafa must forge bonds stronger than blood or identity. Weaving a sweeping history of the breakup of Sudan into the lives of these captivating characters, Fatin Abbas explores the porous and perilous nature of borders?whether they be national, ethnic, or religious?and the profound consequences for those who cross them.

Lady Doctors By Kavitha Rao  At a time when medicine is a highly sought-after career for Indian women, it is hard to imagine what it was like for the pioneers. The story of how firmly they were bound in fetters of family, caste and society, and how fiercely they fought to escape, needs to be told. In Lady Doctors, Kavitha Rao unearths the extraordinary stories of six women from the 1860s to the 1930s, who defied the idea that they were unfit for medicine by virtue of their gender.From Anandibai Joshi, who broke caste rules by crossing an ocean, to Rukhmabai Raut, who escaped a child marriage, divorced her husband and studied to be a doctor; from Kadambini Ganguly, who took care of eightchildren while she worked, to child widow Haimabati Sen, who overcame poverty and hardship-these women had a profound and lasting impact. And in their forgotten lives lie many lessons for modern women. In truth, the compelling stories of these radical women have been erased from our textbooks and memories, because histories have mostly been written by men, about men. In an immensely readable narrative, and with impeccable research, Lady Doctors rectifies this omission.  DETAILS : • Pages: 272• Publisher: Jacaranda books• Imprint: Jacaranda Books• Publication Date: 7th September 2023• Trim Size: 164 x 240 mm• ISBN: 9781914344985• Format: Trade binding  Check out more of our products at our shop
