Tina's new novel is set in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) during the traumatic disintegration of colonial rule and the descent into civil war. “A compelling and captivating read. The story is a fascinating weave of black and white characters. I loved it despite scenes that deeply disturbed me, having been through those times. Tina Beattie has captured an essence of the time with precise and knowledgeable detail.” (Angus Shaw, Zimbabwean writer and war correspondent)
