There was tea. There were scones. There was also malaria.
Pie grows up in mid-century Southern Rhodesia, where the bush is both playground and adversary, boarding school is endured rather than embraced, and mothers acquire gray hairs at an alarming rate—usually for good reason.
Born and bred in Africa to Africa-born parents, Pie does not consider herself exotic. The red dust, the wildlife, the cicadas at dusk—this is simply home. What she does consider herself is resourceful, occasionally defiant, and gifted at finding trouble where none previously existed.
From barefoot escapades and wildlife encounters to the quiet absurdities of colonial life, Pie navigates childhood with curiosity, stubbornness, and a healthy disregard for adult expectations. Fever comes and goes. Political tensions hum in the background. Tea is poured regardless.
Told with dry humor and clear-eyed affection for the land that shaped her, Tea, Scones, and Malaria is a memoir of belonging, mischief, and growing up in a world complicated long before a child could name it.
