title: A Gathering of Dust
author: Ford, Samantha
description: A Novel out of AfricaThrough the mists of a remote and dangerous part of the South African coastline, a ﬁsherman stumbles upon an abandoned car and an overturned wheelchair. Thousands of miles away, in London, an unidentiﬁed woman lies in a coma. When she recovers she has no memory of her past or where she comes from. As fragments of her memory begin to return, the woman has to confront the facts about herself as they begin to unfold. A disastrous love affair in the African bush; a missing husband; and a sinister, shadowy ﬁgure who knows exactly who she is and where she comes from. Tension builds as images and secrets begin to resurface from her lost past - rekindled memories that plunge her back into a world she ﬁnds she would rather not remember. Set against the magniﬁcent backdrop of East and South Africa, A Gathering of Dust is a fast-paced story of love, betrayal and murder scattered along a trail of deception and lies, with a single impossible truth, and an unthinkable ending.
