Rambles on the Edge

RAMBLES ON THE EDGE continues the story of Wendy's family as they leave Kenya for new opportunities in Rhodesia at a time when the country was safe and prosperous but, unknown to them, a state of war was already brewing. They had no inkling of this at first as they adjusted to Rhodesian life and society with many novel and surprising experiences, until the ferocity of what became a terrifying conflict erupted with destabilising force and the family found themselves yet again looking for a safer place to live. America offered bright prospects where, arriving as immigrants, they thought at last to have found the ultimate sanctuary in a country with no limit on ambition or what can be achieved with hopes raised high. Soon after they arrived a shiver ran through the nation with the Iran hostage crisis, and soon after that, the family had a crisis of their own which in this case was devastating. Throughout the narrative Wendy observes and describes with candid humour the scenes and sensations around her in these different countries and differing circumstances.
