Synopses & Reviews
Zimbabwean-born, Perth-based Frank Cole is faced with an unusual request in his mothers will. He must journey back to his country of birth to deliver a substantial inheritance from his mother to a former family servant, Lettah Ndlovu. Set in Zimbabwe in the year prior to the 2008 elections, this is a very personal journey set against a political canvas. Drawing on an incisive portrait of modern Zimbabwe—its social and political issues, its recent history, and its conflicts between different tribal groups—this gripping novel of discovery and redemption offers action, romance, danger, and humor against an exotic and often confronting African setting.
