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 Mozambique's Marxist revolution and its collapse. Dona'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, very good condition.
