About this book

Ellies upbringing in colonial Africa in the 1960s and 70s--stiff whiskies keeping up appearances and English gardens amidst the African Bush--was marked by a troubled relationship with a violent father she didnt really know. So when she returns there after her fathers death for the first time in twenty-five years it means facing a past she thought she had put behind her. But even as childhood memories threaten to paralyze her Ellie sets out to discover the dark secret at the heart of her fathers life and her parents marriage hoping the truth will allow her to break free from the past that has haunted her life.
