Memories Trilogy (1941-1973, 1973-1988, 1988-2017) By Peter Apap Bologna

Memories 1941-1973 (Book 1) – This volume of Memories is the first of a planned trilogy covering the three different phases of my life, as I see them, namely: 1941-1973 –– birth, education, growing up in Malta, studying Accountancy in London, marriage and children; 1973-1988 –– emigration to England, and the years spent abroad; 1988 to the present –– return to Malta, Alaine, Melitensia Art Gallery, and after. Memories 1973 – 1988 (Book 2) – As a preamble to the first volume of these memories, I explained that my life has been a peripatetic one and also, some might say, like a roller-coaster ride. The years 1973 to 1988 were the most perpatetic of all. We first moved to London, fell in love with Ireland and bought a holiday home in County Cork. We moved to America in 1979, returned to London briefly, then moved back to America, and finally settled at our Irish home, keeping a foothold in London. In 1988 I returned to Malta, where I embarked on a new life. Memories 1988-2017 (Book 3) – The third volume of Peter Apap Bologna’s autobiography takes us from 1988, when he was 47, to the present day. He celebrated his 76th birthday at a stylish lunch with close friends just a few weeks before the publication of this book. Peter had started to prepare for his return to Malta in 1988, after fifteen years abroad. The overriding factor that triggered his return to Malta was the change of government in Malta after sixteen years of regressive socialist rule that had precipitated his departure in the first place
