Ester Lee's beautiful and touching story of post-colonial Africa highlights many conflicts we are all familiar with.
First the conflict between a mother, Dona Ermalinda, and her daughter, the author. Second, the pull of the 'mother' country and the rootless lives of the people who leave her.
Set against the terrifying backdrop of Mocambique's Marxist revolution and its collapse, Dona Ermalinda's switch from a pampered emigre lifestyle to being a businesswoman in the new Africa is both inspiring and tragic. Yet, she wins in the end.
How she does is revealed in this fascinating documentary account, based on her diaries and told with love by her daughter.
Soft cover, excellent condition.
