Summary

** "Kate Meredith, Financier" by Charles John Cutcliffe Wright Hyne is a tale that plunges into the world of West African trade in the early 1900s. We follow George Carter, a fresh-faced clerk, as he finds his footing in a land brimming with unfamiliar customs and challenging commercial dealings. Thrown into the chaotic setting of the Malla-Nulla factory after a tumultuous arrival, Carter is immediately introduced to the eccentric manager, Swizzle-Stick Smith, and the lively, yet tense, atmosphere of the trading post. The story captures the raw interactions and conflicts between colonial powers and the local population, setting the scene for Carter's entanglement with Laura Slade and the powerful King of Okky, promising a story of political intrigue woven into the daily struggles of life and trade on the West African coast. **
