A compelling read for lovers of memoir, African history, and stories of resilience.
A vivid and personal memoir of life in the Congo during the early 1960s, this book follows Veronica Cecila young British wife and motheras she navigates the beauty, chaos, and danger of a country on the brink of political upheaval. What begins as an optimistic escape from dreary London soon turns into a harrowing journey through civil unrest, isolation, and survival. Told with clarity, wit, and emotional honesty, Cecils story offers a rare, ground-level view of post-colonial Africa through the eyes of someone caught between privilege and peril.
