Synopsis

Shortlisted for the Wilbur Smith Adventure Writing Prize 2018

Chrissie Docherty returns to the southern Africa of her childhood and tracks down Evelyn Fielding, the woman at the centre of an explosive scandal involving a traditional colonial officer and a gifted black African artist. Together, the two women uncover the secrets that shattered a remote expatriate outpost in the Zambian bush in the 1970s.

Switching deftly between today and the recent past, and set against a background of tense post-colonial race relations, political turmoil and witchcraft, 'Looking for Evelyn powerfully evokes the very special colours, sounds and smells of Africa.
