I was expecting a little more humor, coming from the author. However, the story was fun enough.

This is a much more provocative and profound narrative than I expected. The story of Zimbabwe spiraling downward under the manic ego of Mugabe is vaguely familiar to many. But this story is a personal one, where the author, Peter Godwin, tracks the descent through the lives of his parents who are white africans in the country. They painfully lose their farm, their livelihood, their way of life (his mother a long time nurse in a hospital, and father managing the large farming enterprise), and finally health as Mugabe twists a legitimate goal of land redistribution for Zimbabweans into a spoils system unabashedly reserved for his most loyal supporters and ruling clique. Godwin - a contract writer for National Geographic, the BBC, New York Times, and the Sunday Times (of London) - admirably maintains a professional pen and eye in spite of the subject being the virtual and to a degree literal destruction of his parents and siblings. He reflects and muses on the rule of law, the loss of ethics and dignity for all involved: the "winners" of land grabbing, as well as the losers - farm workers and those wishing to see their country prosper. The other component of the story is the discovery that his father is actually Jewish, having escaped the Holocaust where much of his own family perished, only to find himself once again the scapegoat of a governing tyrant and an indifferent world. It is a wide ranging book, AIDS, what institutions and infrastructure mean for a country, international aid and meddling, complete with admirable references to a number of African leaders and voices of conscience most of the West has not heard of. For example, a contemporary Zimbabwe writer, Dambudzo Marechera has savaged Mugabe's ruling clique for having betrayed the "povo" (people). He has maintained resistance as well however, against an easy "binary" framework of the colonizers and and the subjects, the oppressor and victim, or the exotic and indigenous. In fact, he questions the whole foundation of Africa's newly independent states, "based as they are on those flawed colonial territories, "nations" invented by the whites. Was independence nothing more, he asked, than a rebranding of essentially the same product?" With this moving from personal experience to historical reflection and all the pointed connections and similarities, the reader should expect to be shaken by the injustice and savageness that has brought this once proud and promising country to the ground.

This review is not meant to slag off the book. Im no connoisseur when it comes to literature but i dont understand why this book is being given so much importance & even won the Pulitzer prize. For one thing, a novel written in the 60's about racial-discrimination doesnt warrant it to be a classic. The story is very run-of-the-mill & i think there are loads of unheard books out there which deserve recognition better than this book. Not a bad novel but definitely not in my 1001-must-read-books-before-you-die list (IMHO).

Trashy good fun. But! Makes blackjack sound winnable—a real danger where I’m concerned. And it's a page-turner, stupid as that sounds.

It's a good read, solid, but not outstanding. Easy to get through and a good for a vacation.

This is a fun story about time. It's a children's story, but I stayed interested throughout the book. It explores the relativity of time through quite an immaginative and elaborate story which resonates and critiques current society as well as entertains and for these reasons I quite enjoyed it. I think there's a lot more significance in the names and places she uses (especially in London), and that makes it interesting as well, especially since I am here now:)

I think the first section of the book when Liz is in Italy is the most interesting and fun to read. Her conversational writing style really comes alive while describing all the relationships she had in Rome. In India she is pretty much on her own at this Ashram and very much in her own head. The only thing that got me through that section was Richard from Texas who provided some much needed comic relief. I really liked the Bali section....I think her interactions with Ketut were funny and enlightening. Overall I really enjoyed this book.
Birkaç sömestr önce bir ders için bunu okuyun ve bir seçim sezonunda tüm saçmalıkları kazmak istiyorsanız okumak gerçekten iyi bir kitap.
