About this ebook
Jay Perumal
I am a retired school principal. In my earlier days I have been a teacher of ohysical science. I have written several articles on science and spirituality and and have had a small stint covering events for a magazine publication in India. I hold a diploma and three degrees, the highest being Masters in Education. The book I am currently writing is a historical fiction about the experiences of indentured labourers in the 19th century in South Africa. The book has been inspired by tales of experiences by these labourers passed on from my grandparents. It is a story of ruthless ambition, skulduggery, exploitation and oppression. The descriptions are graphic and makes interesting reading. Much research has gone into it. I am happily married with two daughters, who are engineers and a son who is still at university. I love music (Beatles, Elvis and the like and also current artists like James Blunt). I play a bit of guitar and love reading. I am a physical fitness fanatic - I gym alot and love the outdoors. I now live in the beautiful city of Cape Town in South Africa.
