Fair Horizon

the long version

It's an exciting country where any morning one of your male friends may stroll in and present you with a leopard-skin, bagged during the course of a week-end's shooting. Karen Ainsley found that she thoroughly enjoyed staying in Kenya with her kindly, pleasant cousin Elizabeth and Elizabeth's husband, Justin. But although the handsome and successful Mark Howard made Karen occasional presents, he seemed more deeply interested in Inga Sanderfield, the beautiful Swedish widow of an Englishman. And how, Karen wondered regretfully, could she, an ordinary English girl, compete with Inga's sophisticated cosmopolitan charm? The background of a young and still developing colony, with its opportunities, its hard work and its rewards - with, too, its brilliant sunshine, superb scenery, and strange wonderful riot of plants and animals is described with that vivid authenticity that readers are growing to expect from Rosalind Brett.
