PLACE OF REEDS by Caitlin Davies

Caitlin Davies was in her twenties and studying in America when she met and fell in love with the enigmatic Ron. When Ron returned to his home in Botswana, Caitlin joined him in Maun, the 'Place of Reeds', and the two began their lives together.

Eager to absorb all that Setswana culture had to offer, the headstrong Londoner found herself becoming part of Ron's large, extended family, falling in love with both the country and its people. Eventually, with the birth of their daughter Ruby, Caitlin's happiness seemed complete.

But the Botswana of the 1990s was changing. AIDS and urbanisation had taken their toll, violence was on the increase. When, with her child in her arms, Caitlin was brutally attacked, Ron's family closed ranks and Caitlin found herself ostracised by the very people she had come to love.
