I think The Bolter was based on Lady Idina Sackville who lived in Kenya's "Happy Valley". I read a book about her by Frances Osborne, who was her great-grandaughter (and former wife of George).

Aha thank you.
The description of the girls' enforced idleness as they wait for something to happen always strikes me. They needed ALevels !
