Bag om Bunty's Beginnings

"Bunty's Beginnings" completes Ida Greene's "Bunty" trilogy with her two prior, widely-acclaimed, 5-star books, "Bunty's War" and "Bunty's New World". Based on the tape-recorded words of her parents, she brings to life the true story of the attraction of opposites, their chance meeting and marriage.

The book tells countless true stories of delight and frustration, discovery and danger, comedy and tragedy, mixed with a sense of wonderment and adventure, in this beautiful but cruel land. A major adjustment is needed in their lives when they return to England, with many hilarious anecdotes to keep the reader's pages turning in curiosity and anticipation. Ida Greene enlivens her book with many characters, both European and African, ending with a testimonial to the native people whose lives they shared, and her wishes for their future.
