FROM ALEX(ANDRIA) with LOVE

<p>FROM ALEX(ANDRIA) WITH LOVE is a childhood memoir.</p><p>It is the true story of how an Armenian-Greek boy from a middle class family found himself cast out from his beloved home in Alexandria when 150000 Greeks were driven from Egypt by President Nasser's nationalisation campaign and the Arab-Israeli War loomed; how his penniless mother struggled to look after him in the late 1960s in a council flat in the red-light district of Plymouth; and how despite being an uneducated non-English-speaking immigrant he was able to cast deep into the well of rich experiences which shaped his character growing up on the streets of Alexandria to win a place at a UK university and ultimately become president of one of the leading brands in the hospitality industry.</p>
