Description:

A Home for the Highland Cattle is the wry comedy of a young English woman newly settled in an African city who, from the most enlightened of motives, departs from the generally accepted way of dealing with native servants. In the The Antheap, set in the gold fields of the former Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), Tommy, the son of a white mine manager, has a tumultuous relationship with Dirk, the "half-caste" son of the mine owner.
