Love in a Lost Land Zusammenfassung

Love in a Lost Land James MacManus

Foreign Correspondent Richard Brady arrives in Africa to report on a nationalist insurgency that has gripped a once-beautiful country. An innocent newcomer, he struggles to stay neutral in a bitter war waged with terror and atrocity by both sides.

He is soon drawn to Patience, a young township teacher with a fast tongue and a sharp wit. Their affair is tested when Brady discovers that his lover is recruiting her students to join the guerrillas and helping smuggle them across the border.

Lost in love, torn between the nationalist cause and an embattled white regime and with the war closing in on all sides, Richard faces the ultimate challenge. Can he keep the woman he loves in a world at war?

Love in a Lost Land Bewertungen

'There are echoes of Hemingway in this intensely atmospheric story of a foreign correspondent covering an African war... a novel that is both authentic and ultimately uplifting. A truly memorable read.'

-- Jane Thynne, Novelist

'A compelling love story against a backdrop of betrayal and brutality... a time and place MacManus can bring to life like few others.'

-- Alexandra Shulman CBE, former Editor-in-Chief, British Vogue

'Frederick Forsyth meets Graham Greene with a touch of Romeo and Juliet.'

-- Sally Emerson, Novelist

'The historical events that inspire this book are now all but forgotten but they make for a terrific story. And as a terrific storyteller with deep personal experience of what he describes, James MacManus is the perfect man to tell it. Lost causes, lost loves, passion, redemption and hope. They are all here in another wonderful MacManus novel.'

-- Patrick Bishop

'James MacManus's knowledge of Africa is extraordinarily acute - the land, the people, so well described, and the story, told through the eyes of Brady, is wonderfully immediate and real. He writes so well, is so incredibly observant, and the characters are fascinating. I was utterly gripped from first page to last.'

-- Selina Hastings

'Written with verve and economy, this fast-paced, atmospheric story pits true love against professional integrity amid surroundings of breathtaking grandeur.'

-- Daily Mail
