In the brutal aftermath of the Somme battlefield, Colin McKenzie's gas injury compels his emigration to the warmer colonial Rhodesia. The Red House shifts from battlefield trauma to the complex and violent realities of settlement. Into this mix are constant upheavals of land disputes, the horrifying grimness of the Spannish Flu and murder. A story that travels from the glens of Scotland to the dust and heat of Africa. It draws you in from the onset. An exquisite tale that reflects the lives of many Scots who moved to this part of the Rhodesias to sek a better life. It twists and turns, and keeps you hooked, until the very end. A saga of love and family. A really good read. Caroline Emeny. Suffolk, England. An enthralling, brilliantly written story that captures the true essence of grit and determination to succeed despite the many obstacles faced. The Red House charts a country growing and the loves and loss faced by those challenged to survive. Shenagh Benney. Oxfordshire. England.
