Book Description

Mark from the village finds a job working in the household of a government minister. He and Rachel become victims of manipulation, intrigue, classism and corruption so common in a developing country.


Mark’s beautiful mistress, Liza, shows him the benefits of being a member of the upper class and the affliction of losing that status.


The House Boy takes the reader into a world where opportunism quickly takes the place of love, a world where dishonesty, bribery, witchcraft and sex are a means of survival.
