About this book

Who Was Angela Zendalic? is set in Oxford, in the locality of Jericho and the world of University academia, encompassing the past and the present. A deeply moving and sensitive story told with skill, humour, and a mirror to profoundly changing times. In 1954, Peggy, a respectable war widow and librarian, gives birth out of wedlock to Angela, a coloured' baby, and due to the discrimination of society, and her own deep shame, must give up the baby for adoption. Angela is adopted by a loving and well-meaning white couple, and as she grows up must come to terms with racial prejudice, the confusio.

About Unknown Author

Mary Cavanagh spent her childhood in North Oxford, and was a pupil at St Barnabas Junior School in Jericho. She worked various jobs during the "Swinging Sixties." She married Bill and had two sons. They’re still happily married and live in Kennington with their Wire-Haired Dachshund, Angus. Cavanagh was 35 when she became a student at Westminster Teacher Training College, and it was through her English course that she discovered the joy of creative writing. Her work is inspired by the profound social and moral changes that have taken place in her life, and her acute observations of humankind (most especially as a voyeur and ardent ‘earwigger’). Cavanagh is a member of the Oxford Writers Group, Writers in Oxford and Abingdon Writers. Source: [Author's website](http://www.marycavanagh.co.uk/about-mary/)
