In this sequel to "The Flame of Thika", Elspeth Huxley takes up her story after the family returns to Kenya after the First World War. Her family and friends, their home and their travels, the glorious wildlife and scenery, described in rich and loving detail, all spring to life in this enchanting book. 'She knows East Africa and she loves it...with a critical and understanding sympathy' - "The Times". 'What a marvellous writer...and what a Kenya it was' - "Financial Times".
