Extremely well written memoir of the author's childhood in Rhodesia and Zimbabwe. Written without emotional words, yet you can feel the emotion that she and those around her experienced. You can feel the heat in Africa while reading. You can feel the presence of a drunk woman in the room or an African bushman who can track any animal or person. A really fantastic read. Every person in our book club enjoyed this book and found it moving in some way.

An informative and compelling read about growing up in turbulent times in Africa.
