The story opens on a velvety southern night at a police camp near the grey walls of the Zimbabwe ruins and moves among the settlers, missionaries and visitors of Southern Rhodesia, where two heiresses, a scheme for developing the country and a cast of colonial characters bring romance and rivalry together. Its view of Africa is that of a British settler of 1912.
A colonial romance from the author of Paddy the Next Best Thing, steeped in the landscape she lived in. Download the free EPUB.
