- Verified Buyer
This is a very well-crafted book from the point of view of a young woman growing up in Rhodesia with her parents and sister. This book chronicles her friendship and travels with a somewhat rebellious and broken-down African soldier, the unnamed K, as they journey through his life and her insight. It touches her life in a very spiritual and emotionally informed way. It is not mushy emotional but insightful in a way that becomes a mirror for the reader as is all of her work. It is a terrific read as are all of her books and is sprinkled with African colloquial slang. Don't worry, a small lexicon in the back defines her terms. (And don't worry, what it means to "scribble the cat" is only one interesting turn of the phrase that will delight the reader. She is a very talented writer, very talented. She is a word-crafter and I would recommend this to anyone who is an avid reader of anything. Book clubs should pick this or ANY of her books!
