About this listen

A paradise gained. A friendship tested. A betrayal waiting to happen.

In the glittering aftermath of the Great War, Ralph Madgwick and Keppel Howland have fled the disillusionment of post-war England for the wild promise of Southern Rhodesia. Their quest for fortune in the African bush has yielded nothing but dust and disappointment—until a chance encounter changes everything…

When the legendary flying ace Harry Brigandshaw spots their campfire from his biplane and invites them to his sprawling estate, Elephant Walk, the two friends find themselves thrust into a world of colonial wealth, power, and dangerous temptation. As they settle into the rhythms of farm life, Ralph notices the unmistakable tension between their charismatic host and his beautiful young wife, Tina—a woman whose bedroom eyes and restless spirit spell trouble.

Against the backdrop of 1923 Rhodesia, where the scars of war still linger and the seeds of future conflict are being sown, Ralph must navigate his own desires while protecting his naïve friend from a brewing love triangle that threatens to destroy them all. In this lush, complex world where duty collides with passion and loyalty with ambition, everyone at Elephant Walk harbours secrets that, once revealed, may tear apart the delicate balance of their colonial paradise forever.

To the Manor Born, the fourth in the Brigandshaw Chronicles, is a sweeping tale of lost innocence, forbidden desire, and the price paid for dreams deferred—where the breathtaking beauty of Africa serves as both witness and judge to the follies of human hearts.
