{"product_id":"9781448202584","title":"The Governor's Lady","description":"Set in an off-the-map British Colony in Central Africa in the early 1930's, \u003ci\u003eThe Governor's Lady\u003c\/i\u003e portays a host of interesting characters: young Harold Stebbs, bachelor, newly appointed to the Governor's secretariat in Amimbo; the Governor, Sir Gardnor Hackforth, already something of a Pro-consular legend in the Service, and tipped by \u003ci\u003eThe Times\u003c\/i\u003e for the next Viceroyship; Mr. Frith, the passed-over Acting Chief Secretary, a rather too familiar figure at the bar in the Milner Club; Tony Henley, the A.D.C., who has ultimately to be disowned; Old Moses, the trusted Mimbo butler and key figure in the Residency; the socially irresistible Mr. Ngono; Mr. Talefwa, left-wing editor of the African Independence newspaper, War Drum; and Mr. Das, itinerant legal Counsel called in by the Defence. Then there is the Governor's Lady herself; twenty years younger than Sir Gardnor; somewhat withdrawn from Government life because of an incident that occurred before Harold Stebbs arrived; and already the subject of gossip in European, African and Asian circles alike. There is also Lady Anne's lady-in-waiting, Sybil Prosser, who has her own reasons for discretion.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47155256525040,"sku":"9781448202584","price":5.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781448202584_p0.jpg?v=1763827989","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781448202584","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
