Journal Entry 1 by quietorchid from Saint Paul, Minnesota USA on Monday, March 2, 2015
Powerful book. Hannah Musgrave grows up as a child of priviege, and joins the Weatherman. Living underground loses meaning, so she moves to Liberia to be part of a new world. Marrying into the bureaucratic class pre-civil war, and being an ex-pat, she slips into a dream-like existance of a different type of privilege.

This is a story of waking up, and learning the costs of arrogance and assumed privilege. Powerful, true to the historical record of Liberia's descent into madness from 1980 to 2006.

Fly far little book!
