Ivan sails to South Africa and South America... a world away from Hackney and Austerity . There's an unfortunate incident involving Crepes Suzette.. and he meets "Esmerelda" a beautiful, rich young Brazilian girl...
Ivan starts work as a saloon boy and steward, sailing to South Africa. Hard work, the waiter known as Mabel, and drag shows in the crew bar.
1953 continued : more jobs, and Ivan signs up for sea school aged 16 - dreaming of exotic foreign travel. His parents are not happy.
1945--1953. Peacetime. Life in a prefab, arrival of a baby brother, getting into Grammar School.... and bunking off. First business - as a teenage entrepreneur, and first, short-lived, jobs.
First part of memoir spanning five decades (so far!) Ivan Berg's wartime memories 1939--1945. Evacuee, back in London for the Blitz - then sent away again, with father at war, mother in hospital, to a Kindertransport Hostel.
