Blue Desert by Celia Jeffries
Alice, a young eighteen year old British woman moves to Africa (1910) with her family to escape the fall out of the war (World War I). Alice finds herself living among the Tuareg tribe in the Sahara Desert, after an auto accident. She then has to re-enter British society seven years later, a changed woman. When she received a telegram in her senior years (age 78 set in 1970) her secrets are revealed.
The story moves at a steady pace alternating between 1910 and 1970, her life in the Desert is remembered as well as her current (situation). As an older woman, we see how her early years have affected her. The story takes place in about one weeks time, but there is a lot we learn. I was fascinated about the Tuareg culture and how she adapted. Overall I enjoyed Blue Desert and recommend to avid readers.
