“Let’s look Death in the eye then, shall we?” -Alexandra of Sussex The year is 1923. Countess Alexandra of Sussex, “Alex” to those closest, is on a safari holiday in sun-baked British Kenya, celebrating her engagement to Arthur II, Earl of Sussex. Alex, however, finds herself anything but enamored with her arrogant, cosseted future husband. Her free-thinking, bold nature is at constant odds with Arthur’s ideals for a proper wife in the English upper-class. Alexandra is certainly poised and lovely, able to move within her aristocratic circles with grace. She’s also strong-willed and impetuous, with a tendency to speak her mind in any given situation, a trait which often exasperates Arthur and his family. Alex knows her match with Arthur isn’t the best choice. She can never love him. He takes himself far too seriously. He’s dull and self-absorbed, and she cannot stand the thought of spending the rest of her days imprisoned in his gilded cage of polite company and daily routine. She craves the excitement of freedom and wants nothing more than to live each day like it’s her last, to see the world in all its beauty and horror. Experience is Alex’s lifeblood. Each new place, new acquaintance, new escapade feeds her yearning, fearless soul. It’s in a resort bar in Nairobi where Alexandra meets a fascinating stranger who immediately turns her head. Here is someone brave, someone with stories, someone who understands the brevity of life. The connection is instantaneous, and now Alex must decide whether she will honor her commitment to Arthur, or choose a new adventure.
