When the Sun Never Sets by Alice Boase
Charles Griffin joined the Colonial Service as one of its first recruits and embarked on a journey to Africa with his young wife Aileen. They had begun a lifetime of travels, which would be shared and extended by their children, Alice and John, and their grandchildren. When the Sun Never Set explores three generations in a remarkable family's history. Alice Boase and Mary Hannah give a lively account of the Griffins' journeys across the globe from Gibraltar to Uganda and Palestine to the West Indies. They capture the atmosphere of the colonial territories they passed through and give valuable insights into the lives of the families who served there.
'With her very first sentence, Alice Boase enlists the sympathy of every ex-colonial child'Overseas Pensioner, October 2005
Alice Boase's parents, Charles and Aileen Griffin, joined the British Colonial Service in 1901 when Charles started his legal career in Nyasaland (now Malawi). Alice met her husband Arthur Boase, a medical officer, in Uganda and they took posts throughout the world until their retirement from the service in 1956. They spent many years in Uganda, where Alice was a member of the Kampala Municipality and served on the Legislative Council of Uganda.
