A Novel Out of Africa

Through 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.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Samantha Ford is a globetrotter in every sense of the word. Wanderlust courses through her veins. She grew up traveling the world, moving from place to place every few years. As she got older, she continued to move about, settling until restlessness crept in, then picking up and moving on.

However the current circumstances this year put paid to any thoughts of going anywhere!

“I have been traveling since I was a little girl, two years here, two years there – different country, different culture, different languages, different schools – I thought everyone lived like that!

I was nine years old when I first came to Africa, and I fell in love with the wildlife and the people. The bush is a wonderful place to get your balance back in life, to pause and take a breath. The animals don’t care about money or politics or the violence in the world today – they just get on with the business of being animals. They can teach us a lot I think.

I write my stories for people who have the same passion as I do for Africa. Many of my readers have left here to live elsewhere – but I know where their hearts lie…

To be compared with John Gordon Davis and Wilbur Smith, two of the greatest writers out of Southern Africa, makes me feel very humble indeed.”

Tedious

Reviewed in Australia on 15 March 2022

I found this novel rather tedious and incredibly slow.
I thought that the author would never get to the inevitable and obvious ending.
I had enjoyed a couple of her other books but this one left me cold

I absolutely loved this book. So well written with lots of intrigue, romance and all steeped in wonderful Africa. It feeds on many levels. Have ordered The House Called Mbabati. Can’t wait x

Sorry,I did not expect a romance story. I was surprised and disappointed. I expected more of an adventure. Nothing in the previews prepared me for a romance story.

Is this a joke!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 June 2019

Although in some respects a good read, and an intriguing plot (though not as developed as it might be), the story is so full of the most unlikely coincidences and circumstances that it really strains the imagination. The romantic stuff as well, is really over the top (for this type of book). At one stage, it struck me - the whole thing is a spoof! Seen in this light, it is not just readable, but actually quite funny. Not sure that this is meant though.

A Page turner!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 October 2019

Verified Purchase

I really enjoyed this book! There is a similarity to the themes of all three of her books but it works. She has a talent for description and I could smell the bush, see the game and feel the heat on my skin, particularly poignant for me having been brought up in Kenya. The story-line was good especially the twists and turns, although I felt the ending was a bit abrupt. It could perhaps have done with a little more padding out. As with all three of her books I found this a page-turner and couldn't put it down. I am looking forward to book no 4.

Colin Fairs

Another excellent book.

This book, like the first one I read, was excellent. There were twists and turns you didn't expect. I would recommend both of the books I have read. I am buying my next one now.

Still reading this book and really enjoying it. Normally read thrillers, but this is my second Samantha Ford book and, having lived in Kenya for many years, I’m loving the descriptions of Africa and it takes me back there very happily. The plot has me gripped too!

A great and nostalgic read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 August 2021

A very well written novel with beautiful and accurate descriptions of Africa. As the author has commented - Africa gets under your skin and no matter where you may go it will always be a part of you and in you blood.
