Zula Hart

the long version

George Hart is the bastard son of a pillar of the British Military establishment and a half Irish, half Zulu actress. With racism and prejudice rife in Victorian society, Hart soon learns to stand up for himself, but he still struggles to come to terms with his identity. Forced to leave the army life he loves, he heads to South Africa and a fresh start. But Hart has soldiering in his blood, and once in Africa the urge to serve again is strong. Yet now he is caught between two fierce and unyielding forces as Britain drives towards war with the Zulus. Hart must make a choice - and fight for his life.
