The secret life of George

Georgina Godwin is a broadcast journalist and interviewer.

Georgina grew up in Zimbabwe in Southern Africa, when it was still a British colony called Rhodesia.

As far as Georgina and her siblings knew, their father was the quintessential Englishman abroad, with a clipped accent and a stiff upper lip.

But there was always something about him that didn’t quite fit.

It was only when her Dad was on his deathbed that she came to understand why he’d felt compelled to adopt a secret identity.
