The roaring twenties are in full swing. The war at an end. Spirits are high. Everything is possible. Or is it?
Harry and Tina Brigandshaw welcome the birth of their son, Anthony, on Elephant Walk. They appear to be a normal contented family, but with the arrival of two English prospectors, not all is what it appears to be. Harry is blissfully happy on his African farm, yet Tina is desperate to return to England and civilisation. She is bored and when Tina is bored, anything can happen!
Back in England and America, business is buoyant, the stock markets climbing and climbing. The social circuit is teeming with newcomers and new money. It’s all a toxic mix. When will the bubble burst and with that, what will happen to Colonial Shipping and the Brigandshaws? Will all be lost?
"On occasions, I slipped into speed reading mode as I was in such a hurry to find out what happened next. Only occasionally do I read a book a second time but this is one where, although I now know the story, I shall read it slowly a second time to savour the experience."
