PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
A richly detailed memoir of colonial life, Victorian in its detail and somber tone. Born in 1907, Huxley looks back at her intrepid parents and the home they made together in Thika. We imagine a lot of lace and regular afternoon tea. It's a rich portrait of the everyday pleasures and challenges of life as a pioneering settler in the white highlands of Kenya.
