Gina Jarvie is a high flyer in her early forties. With divorce behind her and sons in education, she moves to a new city of sunshine and possibility determined to root out what she's been missing. It is a stroke of good fortune when she encounters the enigmatic, seemingly self-possessed Janie Juno, and her world changes forever.
In a poignant and humorous tale of a woman on a quest to recapture her life, Gina meets more than her fair share of heroes and villains but, like the unpredictable waters of the River Exe in the South West of England, sometimes ... all is not quite what it seems.

"Please God, Which Side is Up?" is the memoir of an ordinary family man, who relates here snatches of his life from his invalid childhood in Scotland to training as a commando in the Royal Marines, to working as a journalist in Africa in the unsophisticated 50s and '60s; and latterly as a public relations specialist in South Africa - so that his grandchildren may know something about him and the life he has lived. It has not been an ordinary life...
 
The author relates with sincerity - and sometimes disarming candour - his experiences and adventures as a boy dancing with the "ghosties" on Culloden Moor; serving with the elite 3 Commando Brigade in Malta; covering the chaotic, exciting and often comic events in Kenya during the Mau Mau Rebellion - or in Ian Smith's collapsing Rhodesia; and promoting the historic flight of a highly flammable hydrogen balloon over the mighty Drakensberg mountains in South Africa.
This is a warm and whimsical story that will transport you to the countries and (frequently weird) situations that he encountered in his rich and interesting life. These memoirs reflect his inquisitive, often provocative, stance on life - its beauty and its people, as well as the idiocy of some of our world leaders and governments - all of it begging the rhetorical question:
"Please God, which side is up?"
