Life and Love in Africa: My Journey to Zambia, Nigeria and Back Gill Tembo

Gill met and fell under the spell of fun loving, charismatic Gaban Tembo after he arrived in the UK from Zambia fro postgraduate studies in September 1986.

Seen through Gill's eyes, 'Life and Love in Africa' follows their adventures, both exciting and terrifying, leaving the UK for Zambia as a newly married couple and then as a young family living in Nigeria.

Gaban's compelling work in Rural Engineering meanders through the story alongside Gill's sensitive reactions to this strange new world; a life changing journey full of interesting places, bizarre events, colourful people and spectacular scenery.

Gill's comfort zone is stretched beyond imagination as she overcomes challenge after challenge, but finds herself unprepared for the shocking, unexpected conclusion to her tale, which leaves her questioning the meaning of life itself.

Two people; merging cultures and continents who experience an extraordinary life together.
