Lesson in Geography

It is 1979 and Argus Morrison is a consular officer at the American Embassy in Nairobi. Without warning, a seemingly routine task for him spins wildly out of control. He is propelled from East Africa halfway around the world to Bahia, in Brazil, and his life is changed forever.This is his story, told forty years later.A novel rooted firmly in its two geographical locations: Kenya and Bahia, in Brazil, with a plot driven by events in the Angolan civil war. The principal theme of the novel is the personal cost to the individual, and to others, of acting on an impulse to "live life to the fullest".
