Lately the Oldham Family, has developed a sense of its place in the Global village. Hence , Vangerry wrote: "Long Memory", a novel which traces the ‘history’ of a multi-racial family from 1492 to the 2000 Millennium. It is set against the backgrounds of Mexico, the Bahamas, America and England. The novel also chronicles a five hundred year ‘love’ commitment; and intertwined with the main theme are several other romantic affairs. In addition to ‘telling stories’, ‘Long Memory’ also makes incidental observations on the human condition of contrasting cultures, and gives a ‘twist’ to the classical microcosm/macrocosm equation. A multitude of characters: Arawak, Aztec, Amerindian, Colonial British, Modern British and Modern Bahamian interact smoothly and sympathetically as their individual histories evolve and interweave. The concept of ‘Long Memory’ – a ‘personalization of ‘folk memory’ - gives continuity to the novel, and provides the ‘springboard’ for a surprising denouement. Work in Progress: 'Devil's Vacation'- no details as yet.
