Flawless - in every sense - absolutely incredible breadth of space - the view you get through your own eyes is truly very real and utterly horrific.... I grew up like this and I know what it takes to come out of it whole (or at least partly) - as you will never forget how and why we become the soil that makes us true ZIMBABWEANS. Thank you Alexandra - you are a legend.
Beautiful Memoir

This book is a beautifully written memoir of childhood that,importantly for me, does a fantastic job of evoking the time and place, scents and sounds of growing up on a farm in the bush. Perhaps more meaningful to me since I've traveled in southern Africa, but its a wonderful story for anyone not just those interested in that period and that place.

If you like memoirs -- and travel -- you will love this beautifully written book. Nothing sloppy here. Clear, lovely prose. Family, war, romance, Africa -- it is all here. Enjoy.
