Helpful Score: 2

I read this book to learn about life in Zimbabwe for an upcoming trip. The autobiography was a funny and well written portrait of a dysfunctional family. I enjoyed learning the author's experiences as a white British family living in Africa during times of political upheaval. Although the book only offers the author's limited perspective of African life, I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys quirky autobiographies. The epilogue features descriptions of several other books for further readings about Africa which I am eagerly awaiting via swap.
