Sinossi
Sullo sfondo di una terra di maestosa bellezza, uno scrittore in crisi riscopre il gusto della vita, dell'amicizia e dell'amore
Craig Mellow, scrittore di successo in crisi, accetta la missione che gli affida la World Bank e torna in patria, nello Zimbabwe. Subito si trova coinvolto in un feroce conflitto di interessi in cui si scontrano senza esclusione di colpi agenti dei servizi segreti, guerriglieri, politici corrotti e due ministri del nuovo regime, avidi e astuti come due leopardi in caccia nella notte. Sullo sfondo di una terra di maestosa bellezza, Craig si getterà in un'avventura incalzante, vibrante di passioni, che gli restituirà a poco a poco il significato, e il gusto, della vita, dell'amicizia, dell'amore.

Modern Africa, oftentimes a pawn of superpowers and their proxy wars, is well illustrated in this next installment of the Ballantyne saga. Interestingly this episode has a much smaller cast of characters compared to the previous sprawling historical works, and meanders in some unnecessary directions Leggi tutto
I am completely hooked to Smith now! He really knows Africa which makes his book special. This is another one in the series where we get to know how Zimbabwe started evolving post independence. The severe hatred among the various tribes which was not so visible in colonial days comes to the forefron Leggi tutto
