SLAM

In Lima, Liliana Escudero Vasquez spreads happiness, joy and love but leads a life of danger in the middle of a brutal civil war. In Shrewsbury, Stewart Melville Wellings takes redundancy from a dead-end job and flees from the suburban conformity. A chance meeting on a dance floor in a Peruvian frontier town brings two worlds into collusion.

This is more than an autobiography or a memoir. Searingly honest and very funny, it is a moving account go two people's lives in the turmoil of our times, set against a background of family and social history spanning twelve decades.
