Christina Lamb - The Africa House
In the last decades of the British Empire, Stewart Gore-Brown built himself a feudal paradise in Northern Rhodesia, now Zambia - a sprawling country estate modelled on the finest homes of England, complete with uniformed servants, daily muster parades and rose gardens. He wanted to share it with the love of his life, the beautiful unconventional Ethel Locke King, one of the first women to drive and fly. She, however, was nearly twenty years his senior, married and his aunt. Lorna, the only other woman he had ever cared for, had married another many years earlier. Then he met Lorna's orphaned daughter, so like her mother that he thought he had seen a ghost. It seemed he had found companionship and maybe love - but the Africa house was his dream and it would be a hard one to share.
'A wonderful tale, the author has rescued from oblivion the life story of an astonishing man, an astonishing marriage and an astonishing house' - Spectator
