Marie lives with her parents at a mission station in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), where as a young child she experiences the world around her with wonder, curiosity and humour. However, as she grows older, the underlying political tensions of the 1970s, the arrival of a baby brother, and the discovery of a controversial document bring increasing disillusionment.
"Die verhaal het my vanuit doe staanspoor geboei en ek kon dit doodeenvoudig nie neersit nie ... Her is 'n skywerstem aan die woord wat 'n groot lesersgehoor verdien!" Thys Human
