Sounds like an interesting book.

Rose D'Sa: Going Juu: A Tale of Three Culture - Experiences of a British Kenyan Goan

click to enlarge This autobiography is about the life journey of a migrant and her self-imposed quest to go 'juu' (a Swahili word meaning 'up'). Born in Kenya, to parents whose ancestors came from Goa, Rose D'Sa has since lived most of her life in Wales. Her story is about the personal response of a British, Kenyan, Goan to the challenge of being uprooted and making the most of her destiny. Rose arrived in the UK as a teenager with a tennis bursary to Millfield School, qualified as a barrister, worked at the Human Rights Unit of the Commonwealth Secretariat in London, and became a Professor of European Law, eventually becoming the longest-serving British woman on the EU's Economic and Social Committee in Brussels. The book describes her determination to overcome obstacles, including bereavement and prejudice, and how love for and marriage to an Englishman surmount the grief of the tragic early death of her father. Encounters with royalty, politicians and other personalities add to the interest of this entertaining book. To order your copy go to www.lexxion.eu/rosedsa-going-juu

How to get the book? Is it available in Goa? I will be visiting Goa in Oct, and maybe the publisher or the writer will make arrangement for it to be sold in Goa.

Sorry Eugene.

The book has been published in Germany and I doubt it will be available in Goa

or even the U.K.any time soon.

Suggest you follow the link shown on the Goan Voice UK  page and take it from there.
