City of Human Memories

City of human memoriesAnnouncing the publication of a revealing new memoir 'City of Human Memories' by Guy de Moubray. What makes this book so impressive is the sincerity, honesty and integrity with which it is imbued. Guy de Moubray has had a most unusual and varied life which he recounts with flair and imagination, taking the reader on a revealing journey of discovery.

His story begins in that distant world of long ago where children of colonial parents hardly ever saw them. Schools in Brussels, Sussex and Scotland were followed by war in the Burmese jungle as a teenager. In his time at Oxford he acted with both Sandy Wilson and Kenneth Tynan. His tutor, Tony Crosland, who was later to be Foreign Secretary, became a friend.

The core working years of his life saw him involved in international finance and monetary and economic policy with the Treasury, the Bank of England and the International Monetary Fund. During these years he was Personal Assistant to Per Jacobsson, Chairman of the IMF. But this book is much more than the tale of a successful career. For he recounts with deep feeling personal and revealing emotions focusing on the relationship with his wife, Daphne. This relationship was the golden thread binding his life together, strengthened with his deep religious faith.

"A superbly written new book takes the reader on a varied and private journey through the life of a remarkable man."
