Set in Uganda in the 60s just before Idi Amin takes over. There is a lot of chaos surrounding the foreign community that they rarely see; it breaks in suddenly but never really affects them. But the main character, Agnes, creates chaos for herself by repeatedly having affairs, the latest being with a good new friend of her logical, repressed husband. Interesting book. Wonderful descriptions of living in Africa and the people around the main characters.

This book was okay - it's advertised as erotic - it wasn't. It's set in Uganda but I didn't "feel" it - I wanted more about the African setting and lifestyle. Basically it's about a bored & unhappy wife that is intrigued with and then falls for a married man. Nothing new there. I was hoping the African setting would provide an interesting backdrop or different take on the age-old story, but it didn't.
