"The Africa House" by Christina Lamb is a non-fiction book that tells the story of Stewart Gore-Browne, an eccentric Englishman who built an extravagant mansion in the African bush during the early 20th century. Gore-Browne's grand estate, Shiwa Ngandu, is located in what is now Zambia.

The book explores his life, his passion for Africa, and his dream of creating a utopian community. It delves into the complexities of colonialism, the relationships between Europeans and Africans, and the political changes that swept through the continent. Through Gore-Browne's personal story, Lamb also examines broader historical and cultural themes, providing a rich and detailed portrait of a remarkable figure and his unique vision.

The narrative combines biography, history, and travel writing, bringing to life the landscape, people, and turbulent history of Africa during a period of significant change.
