The Rain Queen

I very much enjoyed The Rain Queen by Katherine Scholes which is set in Tanzania mostly in the 1960s.  The story begins in Australia in the 1990s when young woman, Kate Carrington, is trying to forget her past in Africa because of a terrible tragedy.  She meets her elderly neighbour, Annah Mason, and Annah tells Kate her story of going to Africa in the 1960s and her life there.  For a time she lived with Kate's parents but circumstances changed and Annah began a different life there.  This story is very well told and engaging so the reader barely notices the number of pages in the book.  Recommended. 41/2/5
