Uganda Palaver
Preparations for a coronation lead to a family visiting Uganda. The family, travelling to Africa as a group for the first time, know that adventures and disasters await. It is not what life throws at you but how you deal with it that counts. This is a humorous and warm account of a family's frustration and bewilderment. From being stranded in Lake Victoria with no fuel to being buffeted in a tropical storm near Murchinson Falls, the Bruton family embraced adversity with humour and tenacity. This book is probably the funniest account of travels abroad that you will ever read. With laughter comes drama and adversity, perhaps too, the key to a mystery that has kept Scotland Yard baffled for over forty years...

Uganda Palaver is a great read and revolves around confused Europeans trying to make sense of the way things are done in Africa. The expectations of the group are high and as they come to terms with how the world really works, there are opportunities for both adventure and comedy. This book will make you realise that people should follow the maxim: When in Rome do as the Romans do.
