About this ebook

Always in the Dark is a deeply moving memoir that tells of secrets, scandal and survival.

 

After her parents emigrated post war, Diane spends her idyllic and cosy childhood in Cape Town, which is ruined at the age of three after the arrival of a visitor.  Her roller coaster existence and mother's mental breakdown when she is eight adds to her confusion.  Her father works for Cadbury's and after securing a transfer with the company, the family move back to England when she is fourteen. With each new move, of which there are many, Diane prays that happiness will return to her parents' marriage.

 

It is obvious her home life is a weird one and it is only after her mother's death that she rummages through her secret box and unearths a wealth of staggering information she does not know exists.  But Diane is a young child when it all begins and the fact she has lived her life to the point of naivety is beyond baffling.  And because of the hurt and embarrassment her shocking revelation is not something she wants to share with her husband.

 

The search for the truth sends Diane on numerous missions to talk to many people only to discover that she is the last to know about her dysfunctional family.  Her goal is to hear an apology for her ruined childhood.
