About this book
Set against the sweep of British colonial East Africa, this novel follows an idealistic Englishman who tries to act justly amid the complexities of empire, missionary work, and the lives of the peoples around him. Sir Harry Johnston, himself a noted explorer and colonial administrator, brings firsthand knowledge of Africa to a story of conscience and cultural collision. Reflecting the attitudes and debates of its time about empire and duty, it offers a window onto the era's thinking as much as a work of fiction. An ambitious novel of Africa from a writer who knew the continent well, it blends adventure with moral questioning.
