Slipstream
This is an intimate, heart-stirring journey into the
stormy and loving landscape of a father-daughter relationship. In
the wake of her father's death from cancer, Rachel Manley turned inward
to try and understand the lessons of his life. Michael Manley - the
charismatic, three term prime minister of Jamaica - stood at the centre
of radical social reform in the 70s. But the most powerful chapter
of his time on earth unfolded far outside the political arena; and
it is here, in his final days, that Rachel comes to truly know him.
Rachel Manley writes with honesty and deep feeling, of the enduring
bond she and her father shared and how its strength was continually
tested: by his prolonged absences demanded by public service; by her
extraodinary childhood, spent in the care of her father's parents,
not her own; and by the noisy parade of four stepmothers and their
children. But Rachel soon realized that the toughest rival for her
father's attention was none of these; it was the country she called
home.
