Product Description
The door is open - and at the age of thirty Oscar finds the courage to leave Costa Negra for London to make a new life for himself, carrying with him his parrot's head umbrella.
He works through the difficulties of adapting to life in a new country, and manages to find himself a wife, a family and a job. He is very happy, but for the thought that one day real life will catch up with him.
Inevitably it does, in the form of his formidable mother, whose arrival brings Oscar face to face, for the first time in his life, with the facts he has tried desperately to ignore - the basis for the family fortune, and his mother's part as an ally of the dictatorship.
