All her life, Kamila had wanted to find her birth family. She hoped that retirement would give her the much needed time but a prognosis of incurable cancer put paid to that. They say curiosity kills the cat but not in Kamila's case - it keeps her alive. As her own future shuts down, the past, that she had half-heartedly researched until she realises that death is imminent, begins to open up. She discovers that her parents come from Switzerland and India. And that's just the beginning... This is the story of one woman's quest for her origins - and some of the unexpected insights that lit up her path.

Author Information

Kamila was born under a gooseberry bush on Hampstead Heath on 1st April, 1952. What started as a journey into the unknown ended by untangling the branches of that bush and reclaiming her identity as a British/Swiss/Indian adopted lesbian. After a career as a consultant devising and evaluating socio-economic policy for local and central government, the time had come to focus on her own story. This memoir is an honest account of Kamila's quest to find her family, enabling her to find the truth behind her birth. Writing while also researching her family history and undergoing endless rounds of chemotherapy has only been possible through the support of her loyal friends and adoptive family. Chasing Ghosts is a testament to that support and is, of itself, a remarkable achievement for one who has a limited lifespan.
