The roaring twenties are now in full swing. But the clock is ticking!

High up in an eyrie overlooking the Zambezi escarpment, a biplane appears out of the blue, dropping an invitation to visit Elephant Walk, the home of Harry Brigandshaw. With such an irresistible summons, two young English prospectors abandon camp and make their way.

On arrival, they are welcomed and introduced to the new Brigandshaw heir. Whilst appearing to be a contented family, nothing could be further from the truth. Harry is blissfully happy on his African farm, yet Tina desperately wishes to return to England and civilisation.

Pressurised to return, Harry finds himself back in the game of business financing a new musical with his old flame in the leading role. Jealousies flare and Tina retaliates with far-reaching consequences. But meanwhile in America, the stock market is rising steadily with things beginning to spiral out of control.

And then, disaster strikes! Tina is left with distressing circumstances not only affecting her but the future of Colonial Shipping. Will she be able to make crucial decisions with time beginning to run out?

To the Manor Born is the fourth book in Peter Rimmer's spellbinding historical fiction series, taking you from the beauty of the African plains to the rich supper rooms and theatres of London, and the scheming businessmen of America.
