Set in Nigeria during the 1920s against the backdrop of British colonialism, the white community drinks afternoon tea, plays bridge and dresses its servants as if they still lived in the UK. Affairs are commonplace, and infidelity ignored, provided it is discreet. Ngutor, a ‘houseboy, becomes the unfortunate victim messenger between the wife of his master and her lover. Worlds collide when the District Officer, a married man, falls madly in love with a French nun, a doctor and director of the local hospital. Lyrical, sensitive and hauntingly evocative, as their relationship develops through letters to each other, the characters will stay with you long after the last page. No Distance Between Us, is a historical novel of sensitive intimacy, desire and passion.
