Strange Book
Very short, poorly written (was there no editor?) book. The writing style is very uneven but most often approximates what one would expect for a children's book. However, in places, the subject matter is clearly not intended for children (references to childhood sexual abuse). For adults, there are much better books about growing up as a white child in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). See for example, Andrew Meldrum's "Where we Have Hope" or Peter Godwin's "Mukiwa."
Great, easy read
This is a delightful, quick read, wish there was more. It tells the story of a young girl and her family in colonial Rhodesia on their farm. Though difficult times overcome them the author manages to tell an upbeat often funny story.
