Highlights among the Shadows is the autobiography and family history of Owen Clement, who was born in Kharagpur, Bengal and has lived in England, Canada, Papua New Guinea and Australia. 'Having held three citizenships, British-Indian, Canadian and Australian, having lived on three separate continents and being part of mixed heritage has played a major part in my trying to understand this world and all its people,' the author writes (247).
Owen Clement is the father of Rod Clement, children's author and illustrator.
