Leaf by leaf

Released after five years cooped up in prison, following Operation Julie, Britain’s biggest drugs bust, all Leaf Fielding wanted to do was to leave the UK. After a potentially fatal brush with the IRA in Ireland, he spent six months travelling in India, going from the Himalayas to the southernmost tip of the Sub-Continent – all the time trying to learn about the people and their culture whilst attempting to come to terms with the after-effects of prison: the scars of a long incarceration. How was he going to rebuild his life? For a long time he didn’t know. The answer. when it finally came, proved a big surprise. An unlikely redemption awaited him in Sub-Saharan Africa. Leaf by leaf, Adventures on four Continents, is the second part of Leaf’s memoirs. It follows directly on from the bestselling part 1, To Live Outside the Law.
