The writing is interesting with vivid descriptions of life in Africa as seen by a child growing up there. But the subject matter is distressing and depressing -- about a family dysfunctional to the point of almost being criminal. I'm pretty sure I'd not have finished reading this book if it weren't required reading for this month's selection of our book club.
