Elspeth and her unconventional parents decide to settle down in Kenya and begin a coffee plantation.

A side plot involves the beautiful and bored British Lettice Palmer who enters into an affair with a handsome safari guide. Eventually, however, the excitement of Elspeth's life is disrupted by the onset of WW I, and the changes it brings.
