The Magic Slippers
After struggling under his mother’s expectations and narrowly passing one A-level exam (Maths, grade E), Paul finds himself caught between a career in civil engineering and his own ambitions. He ultimately builds a strong life in the construction industry as a planning surveyor — a job he grows to love and excel in.
But it’s his journey of self-discovery that takes centre stage. The Magic Slippers begins with these early challenges and optimism, and unfolds into a powerful memoir of resilience and personal triumph. Across 318 pages, Paul reflects on navigating family ambition, finding meaning in a demanding career, and crafting his own path.
