A debut romance set in post independence Zimbabwe. The gentleness of the mixed race relationship is contrasted with the chaos and brutality of the emergent regime. The tension between the different factions and races is very well conveyed as is the atmospheres of old fashioned and sedate Bulawayo and the brashness and modernity of Harare. On a minor note, I would have found a glossary of African/Zimbabwean/English words helpful.
