Having drawn evaluations to Gone with the Blowing wind and Out of Africa, The Fever Tree is a pause resistor of the very first order. Frances Irvine, kept destitute in the wake of her father's quick loss of life, has been compelled to reject her life of wealth and privilege in London and emigrate to the Southern Cape of Africa. 1880 South Africa is a country torn aside by greed. Within this distant and inhospitable land she becomes entangled with two completely different men - one motivated by ambition, the other by his ideals. Only then the rumor of any smallpox epidemic will take her into the dark heart of the gemstone mines does indeed she see her way to joy. But this is a ruthless world of avarice and exploitation, where the spoils of the abundant come at a terrible real human cost and powerful men will go to any measures to keep carefully the mines functioning. Taken off civilization and disillusioned by her isolation, Frances must select from passion and integrity, a choice that has devastating implications. The Fever Tree is a powerful family portrait of colonial South Africa, its organic beauty and deprivation alive in similar measure. But above all this can be a love story about how exactly - just whenever we require it most - dread can blind us to the truth.
