About this product

Product Information

Peter Godwin, an award-winning writer, is on assignment in Zululand when he is summoned by his mother to Zimbabwe, his birthplace. His father is seriously ill; she fears he is dying. Godwin finds his country, once a post-colonial success story, descending into a vortex of violence and racial hatred. His father recovers, but over the next few years Godwin travels regularly between his family life in Manhattan and the increasing chaos of Zimbabwe, with its rampant inflation and land seizures making famine a very real prospect. It is against this backdrop that Godwin discovers a fifty-year-old family secret, one which changes everything he thought he knew about his father, and his own place in the world. Peter Godwin's book combines vivid reportage, moving personal stories and revealing memoir, and traces his family's quest to belong in hostile lands - a quest that spans three continents and half a century. 'Heartbreaking . . . Godwin plainly loves Africa, and he captures the baffling wayward contradictions of its people, their cruelties and unexpected kindnesses, their nobility of spirit in the face of appalling conditions, with humour and grace' Daily Mail 'A wonderful book . . . beautifully written, packed with insight and free of rancour' Literary Review 'A strong, heroic book . . . too vivid to bear and too central to our concerns to ignore' Edmund White

The jacket arrived within a day or two. It is in excellent condition and just as described. Collette, due to my complaining about the postal charges, offered to deliver to me on her bike, which I declined, since although we only live a few miles apart, didn't want her to go to that much trouble. But the offer went beyond her obligation as a seller. Was very touched by that wonderful gesture. Would recommend this kind, honest seller. ❤️ *****

    When a crocodile eats the sun

    Enlightening and fascinating reading, it follows on from his first book 'Mukiwa', that is about his upbringing in the then Rhodesia. He writes with a deep love of the country and pretty much without prejudice, even though the deterioration of Zimbabwe is horrendous. This book keeps you tense while reading it, but is hard to put down.
