Set in Uganda, this East African adventure brings into sharp focus the wonderful warmth of the people. Preparations for a coronation lead to a family visiting Uganda. The family, travelling to Africa as a group for the first time, know that adventures and disasters await. It is not what life throws at you but how you deal with it that counts. This is a humorous and warm account of a family’s frustration and bewilderment. From being stranded in Lake Victoria with no fuel to being buffeted in a tropical storm near Murchinson Falls, the Bruton family embraced adversity with humour and tenacity. This book is probably the funniest account of travels abroad that you will ever read. With laughter comes drama and adversity, perhaps too, the key to a mystery that has kept Scotland Yard baffled for over forty years. . .To my travelling companions in Uganda, you know who you are and my travelling companions in life, we’ve come so far. With thanks to all the family for a wonderful trip. Dedicated to the memory of the Major, he made it all possible. After my mother died, the family adopted me and I was invited onto their trip. Like all good fiction I have exaggerated, transposed and transformed events to make for an entertaining read.None of this is real or true except in my head. Their humour and patience speaks volumes about their strong characters and their warm hearts.
