Last Orders At Harrods

Charity Mupanga is the widowed owner of Harrods International Bar (and Nightspot) - a favourite meeting place for the movers and shakers of Kibera. While she can handle most challenges; from an erratic supply of Worcestershire sauce; the secret ingredient in her cooking; to the political tensions in East Africa's most notorious slum and a cholera outbreak that follows the freak floods in the state of Ubuntu; some threatening letters from London lawyers are beginning to overwhelm her. Well-meant but inept efforts to foil the lawyers by Edward Furniver; a former fund manager who runs Kibera's co-operative bank; bring Harrods International Bar to the brink of disaster; and Charity close to despair. In the nick of time an accidental riot; triggered by World Bank President Hardwick Hardwicke's visit to the slum; coupled with some quick thinking by Titus Ntoto; the 14-year-old leader of Kibera's toughest gang; the Mboya Boys United Football Club; help Charity - and Harrods - to triumph in the end.
