‘The devil and the deep blue sea’ By Angela Cairns

A friendship that spans thirty years, an old flame and the kindling embers of a fire.
Thea and Nesh have lived continents apart for thirty years, she in England, he in Zimbabwe. Their relationship remains a vibrant thread, kept alive by correspondence. Reunited, they sit beside a fire-pit in the African night surprised by the moral dilemma their conversation exposes.
