Ellie
is a shy girl growing up in post-Independence Zimbabwe, longing for escape from
the confines of small-town life. When she eventually moves to Britain, her wish
seems to have come true. But life there is not all she imagined. And when her
grandmother Evelyn is brutally murdered, a set of diaries are uncovered –
spilling out family secrets and recounting a young Evelyn's passionate and
dangerous affair with a powerful married man.
In
the light of new discoveries, Ellie begins to re-evaluate her relationship with
her grandmother, and must face up to some truths about herself in the process.
Set against the backdrop of a country
in change, Ellie – burdened by the
memories and the misunderstandings of the past – must also find a way to move
forward in her own romantic endeavors.
Winner
of the Best First Book Award at Zimbabwe International Book Fair 2010.
'Brilliantly evokes the ennui of the
pre-Independence settler community who measure out their lives in cups of tea,
sundowners, and illicit affairs.' John Eppel
