The Rain Forest by OLIVIA MANNING abridged and read in 15 parts by Kate Coleridge (1)
To Al-Bustan in the Indian Ocean, last outpost of British colonialism, come Hugh and Kristy Foster with their delicate marriage and impaired bank balance. Hugh is to take up a minor government post and they are to stay at the Daisy Pension presided over by formidable old Mrs Gunner and her giant Nubian, Akbar.
