On an early summer morning in 2001, Mandy Retzlaff received the phone call that she and her family had been dreading. Her farmhouse in northern Zimbabwe was being decimated at the hands of an angry mob of Robert Mugabe’s war veterans, who had been tasked with driving white farmers from their homes. In just a few short days, forty-five of Mandy’s neighbours narrowly escaped with their lives and decided to leave Zimbabwe behind.

Revealing but insignificantly tragic
Revisado: 01-22-15
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
A sensitive story of a troubled time in a country with a difficult, disastrous history and of the experiences and perceptions of one class of people who lived through it with understandably the ideas and values of their time and place.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I finished the book with a pervading sense of sadness at the tragedy of the country politically and economically and at the understandable blindness of the key figures.
