wjacksonata 's review for:
The Bolter: Edwardian Heartbreak and High Society Scandal in Kenya
by Frances Osborne
This is a relevant but somewhat peripheral link to my recent reading about colonial Kenya; this book is a biography (the author's great-grandmother) of the one of the Happy Valley party people. Kenya plays a role as the adopted home of Idina Sackville, but more compelling for me were the details about British upper class society - repressive in so many ways, and utterly dysfunctional. Osborne has done a great job researching her family history and relates it well, but it is not a joyful tale.
