    Echoes from a Distant Land
    Wangira is caught between the traditions of his Kikuyu tribe and the disturbing new ideas of the missionaries. When, as a young warrior, he saves the life of a wealthy American photographer, he is offered the chance of a new life far away in the white man's world.<br/>Between the wars, Kenya is a land of boundless opportunity where the rich engage in hunting safaris, horse racing, outrageous parties and all the pleasures that money can buy. Dana Northcote is a celebrated socialite, living the high life, but when Wangira uses her husband's farm in the Kenyan highlands to hide some contraband, she embarks on a dangerous, passionate affair. Ultimately, she is forced to make a heart - rending decision that will tear her life apart and has consequences which will echo through the generations.<br/>Spanning the first half of the twentieth century and culminating in Kenya's fight for independence from the British Empire, ECHOES FROM A DISTANT LAND is a vivid evocation of a nation in turmoil, and a story of a love that dared to cross the divide.<br/> Praise for Frank Coates's novels:<br/>'remarkable ... adventuresome ... suffused with tenderness' AUSTRALIAN BOOK REVIEW<br/>'powerfully recreates the turbulent past' COURIER - MAIL<br/>'blockbuster adventure with authenticity' WEEKEND AUSTRALIAN<br/>'an enthralling, multi - layered tale' GOOD READING<br/>
