To Ghana with Love (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781445260006)

'To Ghana with Love' is an extraordinary memoir of a young English woman who dares to challenge the colonial prejudices that existed in post-war Britain. Barbara describes her childhood in pre-war London. Her dreams come true when she enters university to study English. Then she falls in love with young Michael Baddoo from the Gold Coast. After he qualifies as a doctor, they marry and move to the Gold Coast. Barbara presents an honest and touching account of her adjustment to a new country as the wife of a doctor in government service. She copes with the new culture, frequent moves, and the needs of her growing family, with wisdom, fortitude, and a wicked sense of humour. The book also provides a unique historical perspective. Barbara comments on the political and social changes as the colony of the Gold Coast evolves into the independent Republic of Ghana.
