This is a serious book - and not easy reading if you are looking for a good book to relax with. I have heard that Zimbabwe is a difficult country to live in, but this, the first short story in the book, is frightening. No doubt the author is out to highlight the problems of native Zimbabweans both in their own country and the wde diaspora. This book will shock you. The cover is dramatic and eye catching. The text has American spelling throughout which is rather annoying, but perhaps that is a target market.
