Customer Reviews

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.

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."
