Matilda Quartey is fourteen years old when sophisticated black Gold Coast lawyer Robert Bannerman sets eyes on her and resolves to take her as his second wife. For Julie, his first wife, this is a colossal slap in the face. For Matilda it is an abrupt and cruel end to childhood.
On the other side of the colony, Audrey Turton is appalled by her new life in Africa. Angry, flirtatious adn reckless, she drinks away the days, dreaming of home and waiting for something to happen..
Set in the Gold Coast of the 1940s, Marilyn Heward Mills' extraordinary first novel is both hearthwarming and heartbreaking.
I think the text in the back cover is a bit misleading. It describes what happens but the book is somehow calmer and less tragic, less like a bad romance.
After finishing the book, I read that the book was inspired by the author’s grandmother. That must explain the warm atmosphere.
