"Remi-niscing': Secrets, Denials & Abuse: Revelations of a Maltese Immigrant "
Rémi Morello
Remi-niscing: Secrets, Denials and Abuse is Rémi Morello’s deeply personal account of the first eighteen years of his life, spanning two vastly different worlds: cosmopolitan Alexandria, Egypt, and post-war Sydney, Australia.
Born into a close-knit family of Maltese and Italian heritage, Rémi recalls an idyllic early childhood surrounded by different cultures, languages and traditions. But beneath these memories lie painful experiences, complicated family relationships, long-held secrets and uncomfortable truths that would only become clear much later in life. Remi-niscing CONTENTS FINAL PRI…
Political upheaval in Egypt eventually forces the Morello family to leave the country they had called home for generations. Arriving in Australia with little money, Rémi and his parents face culture shock, cramped living conditions, prejudice and the difficult task of rebuilding their lives. Rémi recounts his school years, struggles with bullying and obesity, friendships, achievements and his gradual coming of age in Sydney. Remi-niscing CONTENTS FINAL PRI…
Blending memoir with family and social history, Remi-niscing is ultimately a story about identity, migration, resilience and the lasting consequences of secrets and denial. It is also Rémi’s attempt to set the record straight—examining the tension between family loyalty and truth, while preserving the story of a vanished world and the immigrant experience that followed.
