It is the story of the murder of a poor white woman by her black houseboy. It is the portrait of the woman's marriage to a luckless farmer, a union doomed to failure before they had even met. And it is an evocation of the country in which they lived - Rhodesia.

To be found in the little free library at the Hoornse Dijk
