Destined for a life of grinding poverty his parents offered the six-year old an escape route by placing him with a Catholic boarding school to receive an education. Their departures from the Hindu faith lead to family dissent and alienation. Baptized at the age of six he was sixteen years old on leaving the institution. Struggling on his own he trained as a boxer and achieved championship success whilst working his way through several exotic occupations. Using his sporting prowess and his savings, Chris doggedly continued his epic odyssey to reach England. Having married, settled into and accepted by the social and industrial culture of Britain, Chris and his family made their way to Spain's Costa del Sol. There, he became a success in both real estate and managerial entertainment.
Drawing on his considerable experiences and natural ability to write and record life's adventures, his novel Returned to Devil's Island at proof stage is already receiving rave returns.показать меньше
