Description

Set in 1950s Kenya, against the backdrop of the British Empire's decline, comes a story of self-discovery, betrayal and impossible love. Jennifer McVeigh's novel follows Rachel as she returns to her childhood home after six years abroad, only to find it changed by the arrival of a new companion. The political climate in the country is growing increasingly unstable, with the threat of the Mau Mau secret society looming large. As tensions rise, Rachel finds herself drawn into a covert relationship that will demand great courage and sacrifice from her. But she also holds a secret of her own, one that gives her power and sets her on a path of discovery. A gripping tale of love, loyalty and survival, Leopard at the Door is a powerful exploration of identity and belonging in a rapidly changing world.
