Martha Gellhorn's three novellas are about Europeans in the dramatic landscape of East Africa. Two sisters, one beautiful, one plain, return unmarried from their ventures in the great world to their parents hotel On The Mountain, where they are caught up in scandalous relations with an African official and an English botanist. A heart-broken woman tries to escape the memory of her son's death on a doomed holiday By The Sea. A lonely awkward young Englishman, disoriented by years as a prisoner-of-war, orphaned by bombs in London, seeks a new life In The Highlands, and is transformed by love for his Kenya farm and an African child.
