Synopsis

Winds of Change Trilogy

No Happy Valley

As the Lawrence family struggles to establish a farm in Kenya's 'White Highlands' against a backdrop of great social and pollical upheaval in Kenya, Peter Lawrence falls in love with Rafiki, a black woman.

Forced confront the horrors of the Mau-Mau insurrection, the Lawrences struggle to deal with the forced acquisition of their land although Peter and Rafiki are doomed to be on opposite sides in the conflict just because of the colour of their skin...

What the Crocodiles don't Eat...will be washed into the sea

Peter Lawrence, now Minister of Agriculture in the new Independent Kenyan Government and Rafiki, Peter's wife, operating private clinics in Nairobi's shanty towns, are forced to confront rampant Government corruption as they desperately try to stay alive.

Meanwhile, their mixed-race son, Kamau, despite suffering from institutional discrimination, gains admission to Oxford University. He is chosen to play rugby for England against the South African Springboks with his 'white brother', Robert. Kamau clashes both on and off the field with Hannes Roux, a Springbok and secret member of the South African security service.

No Peace for the Wicked

Kamau, now a committed member of the anti-apartheid resistance ANC, operating as a clandestine agent in South Africa, is captured and tortured by Hannes Roux, by this time a senior member of the ruthless South African Security police.

Will Kamau escape to continue the fight or will he die in prison?

And will any of the Lawrences, survive to see Nelson Mandela finally released from prison?
