LEAVES FROM THE FIG TREE by Diana Duff

Raised by eccentric grandparents at Annesgrove, an Irish stately home, Diana Duff grew up surrounded by family ghosts, banshees and buried treasure.

At the age of 18, Diana entered the glamorous world of fifties' Kenya, where she married a young officer in the Colonial Service.  Later, during the heady period of African independence, she and her husband moved southwards, first to Dar Es Salaam, and finally, in the 1960s, to South Africa, then at the height of apartheid.

Leaves From the Fig Tree combines the Irish charm of Angela's Ashes with the appeal of Out Of Africa to make for an enthralling and delightful memoir.

Soft cover, fairly good condition.  The cover has some minor scuffing and creasing.  304 pages.
