Where the Tarmac Ends

Published in 1989, Where The Tarmac Ends, is an autobiographical memoir, filled with historical 'asides' and wonderful photographs.

From the back cover:

"A photo-journalist in Kenya during the 'winds of change' period of the 1960s and later, when the East African peoples grasped independence, the author recorded stirring events and met many of the leaders who took Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania into nationhood.

What began in her weekly columns for Kenyan newspapers and magazines has become, in this book, a fascinating social document, chronicling the liveso f her family and other people as those countries grapples with immense economic problems.

She also lived in Ethiopia before the reign of Emperor Haile Selassie was ended by revolution and writes interestingly about little-known places there.

Profusely illustrated by her photographs, this book earns a special place in the literature of independence in East Africa."
