Following the Moon: My African Life

Rebecca Francis

 

The journey from the rain-soaked pavements of London to the dusty red roads of Malawi, Following the Moon: My African Life, tells the story that changed everything.

A fleeting glimpse of the full moon from her London flat becomes a doorway back to the life she built under Africa’s vast skies. Over twenty years, she finds herself shaped by the sweltering heat, the colour and bustle of the markets, and the quiet, endless beauty of Lake Malawi. Along the way, she discovers belonging in unexpected places: in the laughter of a true friend, the wisdom of a bush guide, and the kindness of people who give so much with so little.

This is more than a memoir. It is a love letter to a continent, a reflection on friendship and resilience, and a reminder that “home” is not found on a map but carried forever in the heart.
