She left home for a husband. But she fell in love with Africa... With a fiancé waiting in Africa, and a one-way ticket in hand, artist Livy Johnston boards a steamer ship at the port of London. A tantalising future awaits, and Livy is exuberant with a lust for life. So much so, that when she catches the eye of a fellow passenger, she embarks on a shipboard romance. Surely one last fling wouldn't hurt... Arriving in Rhodesia, Livy quickly makes new friends, who waste no time exposing her to the nightlife of colonial society. But what of Jeremy, her fiancé? When the life he offers turns out to be nothing like what she envisaged, Livy embarks on a safari to the Zambezi River. Camping on the shores, she passionately paints the winding river. Lost in the beauty of Africa, she creates a nostalgic painting never meant to be sold. Confused and disillusioned, Livy begins to question where she really belongs. Harry Brigandshaw's damning words have become a portent of things to come in Africa. Should she listen to them now? Or follow her heart's desire... Lady Come Home is Peter Rimmer's eighth novel in the Brigandshaw Chronicles, the historical fiction series where love is at the heart of everything. It's the dawn of a new era for the Brigandshaws.
