Selengai
is an evocative and
nostalgic story of colonial
Africa, set in Kenya before
Uhuru.
Book Description
A modern
story of three beautiful
farms, Selengai, Bahati and
Saba Saba, each loved
passionately by their owners
who will fight drought,
disease even death to keep
them. With the spaceless
plains of Masai country as
the backdrop to their lives,
it is their memories,
adventures, joy and pain
that inspire them in the
country in which they have
all grown up. Time to move
on from Out of Africa
and
The Flame
Trees of Thika!

Whispering
Grass,
like Selengai before
it, evokes that delightful
time of colonial stability
when farmers and British
settlers planned and schemed
in what is now a lost world
- a world that was
eventually swept away by the
winds of change that
culminated in Uhuru.

While the
Lion Sleeps
is an evocative and at times
disturbing story of colonial
Africa, set in Kenya under
the shadow of Uhuru.
With the
third book set around the
golden plains and hills of
her beloved Kenya, the
author completes a trilogy
to form an African version
of the Forsyte Saga.
While the Lion Sleeps
continues the story where
Whispering Grass left
off.
