Synopsis

Orphaned in 1936, Don Carmichael seemed destined for a bleak future as an Anglo-Indian boy on the streets of Calcutta. However, his fate takes a remarkable turn thanks to his mother’s foresight and a chance encounter with a retired British Army Colonel, who opens doors to opportunities and adventures beyond his dreams.

This candid and captivating memoir takes readers on a vibrant journey spanning nine decades. From an orphanage in the Nilgiris Hills and thrilling encounters with rogue elephants in the Indian jungle to a new life in England marked by both family tragedy and joy.

Son of Laidlaw masterfully weaves a rich tapestry between two worlds, resonating with humour, poignant cultural insight and heartfelt sensitivity. This profoundly moving story offers an intimate glimpse into a bygone era and the remarkable life of a man who truly lived it to the full.
