'Quietly So' was inspired by moments and reflections of Angela's life in Southern Africa and later in the UK. Growing up in the heart of Africa, an appreciation for nature was nurtured during the early years travelling with her parents and siblings from place to place within Zimbabwe. While building roads in the wilds, her father's work took his family on journeys through wide open dry areas, at other times through dense forests, over kopjes, across rivers alive with birds and animals the overwhelming silence, with only the wind and hum of the trucks for company. She shares her poetic reflections, love of wildlife and literature with the reader to catch a glimpse of the timeless echoes of Africa and changes that have taken place.
