What an amazing story, love it. I will be looking out for your book.
When my dad died a few years ago I was sorting through his things and found neatly stored in a box all his RAF documents including his flight log book (he was a navigator). Cooly a calmly he had recorded recon flights over enemy territory as if were a leisurely day out. I'm always amazed to read about parents and what they did to support their children to keep them safe!
I am reading your wonderful book. It has been lent up me by a friend who had read my own book (Interrogating Ellie, by Julian Gray, my pen name) written after discovering stuff about my mother in the Kew National Records Office. I am finding your book gripping. You are a terrific writer and you have a treasure trove if material!
Looking forward to the book. I empathise with your brother. At age 16 I wanted to become an actor/writer and my father thought it was too effiminate and that I would come into contact with "strange types". I became a teacher instead. Would that I had had the support that your brother had to follow his ambitions and dreams!
I just ordered the ebook.
Rory,

Keep up the good work on Parkinsons.
Fascinating insight. And the heroic figure in all this is of course..... Rory's mum.
I’m looking forward to reading more about your mum Rory. Keep up the good parkIe work too which me Oscar and my mum find very helpful.
Fascinating stuff!
Clearly, performance was in the genes.
