1972 Uganda. Freya, naïve and newly married, arrives from England,
anxious to settle into expatriate life at an agricultural project
with her husband, Roger. When the house servant, Keziah, becomes
pregnant, Freya suspects Roger may be the father. Her struggle to
come to terms with this, and the eventual birth of the baby, leads
her into relationships with Satish, the Asian director of a charity
where she takes a job, and with Wensley, a visiting West Indian
cricketer. Increasingly at odds with Roger and the narrow world of
the expatriate community, Freya’s struggle is set against a
backdrop of violence and political turmoil, which culminates in Idi
Amin’s expulsion of the Asian community. The upheaval forces a
life-change dilemma upon Freya. Her story explores a young
woman’s coming of age intellectually, emotionally and sexually.
It confronts what is it to be threatened with expulsion from home,
and asks where people really belong.
