Ursula was sure that her firstborn would be a boy, a son who would run naked in the ornamental garden she created in the Kenyan scrublands, a flash of white against the dark waters of an ornamental lake...

But life as the wife of a farmer in Africa refused to conform to her fantasies.  The child was a girl - and 15-year-old village girl Ayah, fascinated by her blue-eyed charge, was hired as a nursemaid.

When Ayah herself gave birth to a boy, the black baby took the place of Ursula's dream child.  And in the claustrophobic world of colonial Kenya, the shady pathways of Ursula's formal garden could lead only to obsession and strange imaginings...

Soft cover, fairly good condition.  Minor signs of wear.
