The story of the disintegration of a family, set against the collapse of a country, a sequel of sorts to Peter Godwin's award-winning and bestselling memoir, Mukiwa.

Praise for Mukiwa -

'The life of the white boys and girls in colonial Africa has vanished now, but this fine and powerful memoir is a marvellous contribution to its literature'

William Boyd, Sunday Times

'His memoir of those terrible years is a vivdly scary adventure story, as well as a poignant portrait of a bitter moral dilemma...superb'

Graham Lord, Daily Telegraph

'I have no hesitation in saying that Mr Godwin's book is a classic'

Anthony Daniels, Sunday Telegraph

'Remarkable'

Doris Lessing, Observer
