About this listen

 The Fortunes of Philippa draws inspiration from the life of the authors mother, Angelica Brazil, who experienced a dramatic shift at the tender age of 10 when she moved from the vibrant streets of Rio de Janeiro to an English boarding school. Faced with the challenges of adapting to a new culture, school life, and a climate far removed from her tropical roots, her journey is both eye-opening and poignant.Copyright Culture and Heritage classics Social Sciences World
