Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Langani Trilogy (2)
In the first years of Kenyan independence, three young women return to the East African highlands where they shared a carefree childhood. Hannah is struggling to preserve her heritage at Langani Farm, where a series of unexplained and violent attacks threaten her security and recent marriage. Sarah is studying elephant behavior in an area made dangerous by armed poachers, using her work as a salve for the death of her childhood sweetheart. Camilla, the international fashion icon, abandons her career in London and is drawn back to Kenya by her love for a charismatic hunter and safari guide. But there is a secret that hangs over Langani, overshadowing their efforts to establish themselves in the volatile circumstances of a new African nation. With the help of an ambitious Indian journalist, the three girls gradually uncover the truth about the murder of Sarah's fiance, and the continuing attacks on the farm and on their lives. The passions and hardships experienced by these unforgettable heroines, united again in their friendship and their love for the country of their childhood, make a magnificent, epic novel. This superb sequel to Blood Sisters confronts catastrophic loss and delirious happiness, savagery and degradation, limitless beauty, soaring hope, and redemption.

As Hannah and Lars struggle on at the farm, Sara is living in the bush, involved with the study of elephants while Camilla abandons her fashion career in London to come home and set up as fashion designer with her workshop at Langani Farm. But the secret overshadowing Langani needs to be addressed and with the help of an Indian journalist, the three young women uncover the truth behind the attacks. Along the way romances are developed and lost and the three close friends must fight for their friendship.
Once again, I enjoyed this epic saga about the three girlhood friends, their joys and sorrows, set against the backdrop of Kenya’s early years of independence. The authors, Stephanie and Barbara Keating grew up in Kenya and are painting a vivid picture of that country. A Durable Fire brings the story up to the 1970’s and there is one more volume to the trilogy. ( )
