This is the true story of a British housewife on company assignment with her spouse and young children in South Africa during the racist Apartheid regime. Plunged into a lifestyle markedly different from the simple domesticity of the English homemaker, she finds herself part of a standard of luxury the most opulent and glamorous in the world. However, her paradise comes at a price. Torn between feelings of compassion and advocacy for the racial segregation, inhumanity and the abject poverty of the blacks and colored populations, this is a story of an era strange and wrong. Set amid the politics of the time, written with innuendo and humor, it is history recorded from a different angle.
