Synopsis
In the days before she was a bestselling novelist, Anita Shreve worked in Kenya as journalist, and she has crafted a literary portrait of the lush African countryside and the delicate politics of post-colonialism which absolutely shimmers with the lucid relevance of memory. Her story centers on a pair of British newlyweds, Margaret and Patrick, who move to Kenya for a year and find that their relationship is irrevocably altered once they have left the comfort of their native land. At first, they try to talk around their anxiety and sudden discomfort with the land, the people, and each other, but a tragic incident on a mountainside forces them to expose their hidden doubts and fears. Shreve masterfully mingles an intricate analysis of the complexities of marriage, where the most essential expressions are often subtle, silent gestures, with a grand exploration of the glorious wilderness of Kenya.

Industry Reviews
"[Shreve] knows how to keep a reader engaged....[She] packs an impressive amount of sympathetic and intelligent detail into this narrative..."
(09/26/2009)

"A CHANGE IN ALTITUDE rises a few thousand feet above typical women's fiction....[It] works...as a depiction of a change in latitude--as a portrait of the lives of Americans and Europeans living on the African equator during the late 1970s."
(10/05/2009)
