Lady Come Home

The Brigandshaw Chronicles, Book 8

By: Peter Rimmer

Narrated by: Alex Bhat

In a land of shifting sands, can Livy carve out a future for herself, or will Rhodesia's changing tides pull her under?

The African sun beats down on Salisbury as Livy Johnston, an up-and-coming artist, steps into a world of colonial propriety and unspoken rules. After a shipboard romance with wealthy widower Crispin Dane, she is forced to face the reality of her hastily arranged future with Jeremy Crookshank, a struggling farm assistant with dreams of his own tobacco fields.

In 1950s Rhodesia, Livy must navigate a land of beauty and contradictions—rigid social structures, judgmental society matrons, and the ghosts of scandal—while questioning whether she can truly build a life in this sunbaked corner of the Empire.

As her heart pulls her in conflicting directions and her artistic spirit yearns for expression, Livy faces an impossible choice. In a country on the brink of change, where colonial ways are beginning to crack, Livy’s journey becomes a symbol of a world in transition. Will she choose passion or security, freedom or belonging?

Lady Come Home is the eighth book in the Brigandshaw Chronicles, a sweeping saga of love, loss, and the changing tides of history.
