Born and raised in Zimbabwe, the author tells the story of his parents life on their property in the eastern mountains of Zimbabwe, on a piece of land that they had turned into a famous game farm and backpacker lodge called Drifters. The family had moved around the country while the author and his siblings grew up, but each of them left to pursue their own lives.This part of the parents lives and his visits back home, are during a very turbulent time in the country, when Zimbabwe’s president Robert Mugabe launched his violent program to reclaim white-owned land and that of some Black farmers as well.I have read quite a few books set during this time in Zimbabwe, and in each one though the subject is the same, the individual stories so diverse. It was so interesting to see what his parents and their neighbors went through, but also how the locals dealt with this issue. Being a reporter the author wanted to get into a bit of the local scene, so we are taken on a journey, through talks over beers with his parents employees at Drifters, to diamond dealers, money laundering, political rallies, prostitution and much more. This was definitely a very interesting book to read. I enjoyed it immensely.
I was prepared to give this book 5 stars right up to the end but was so disappointed in the abruptness of the ending. I felt like I had been walking along a path, engrossed in reading a good book and then just suddenly fell off a cliff. In the acknowledgements, the author gives a very vague and very brief update and there you are, scratching your head and wondering what happened. Overall, extremely interesting and informative, excellent writing and research, but that didn't make up for the poor ending, in my view.
You think your life is difficult? Read this book about the author's mother and father who are scrambling to hold on to their home and just survive during the extra hyper inflation and the dangerously turbulent times in Zimbabwe. You might think your circumstances aren't that bad.Douglas Roger's parents' lives are always in danger and their livelihood disappears again and again. They jump through disappearing hoops in an effort to save their home and property yet they remain cheerful and hopeful that life will get better.Douglas Rogers writes an amazingly coherent book about incoherent times. So beautifully written and showing such pride while living through constant worry and fear for the safety of his amazingly adaptive and optimistic parents. This is an incredible true story that makes me feel very lucky.
A completely unexpected tale from one of the world’s most chaotic countries. The author grew up in Zimbabwe and left for England as a young man. His parents stayed, even through the revolution, having invested all their retirement money in a small resort. How they cope with upheaval, shifting power, danger, and threats on their lives is a story so unbelievable that no one would accept it if it were fiction- but it’s real, and surprisingly, it’s full of humor.
I found this well-written and often humorous book to be a gripping tale of what is really going on in Zimbabwe. I knew the situation there was desperate, but I didn't know how utterly hopeless it actually is. Mugabe is more of a corrupt despot than I could have imagined. Talk about reverse racism! With just a slip of paper, White Africans, a.k.a. whites born, raised and working in Zimbabwe (sometimes for generations) can lose everything that they and their forefathers have worked for. Unfortunately the recipients of the farms have no interest in or knowledge of how to run a working farm. This has led to the absolute destruction of a once thriving economy.A fascinating book and I salute the author for his ability to find humor in this dreadful situation...that is still in existence today.
I was so impressed with this story written by the son of white farmers in what is now called Zimbabwe. Roger was born and grew up there as did his parents and 3 sisters . They became owners of a Resort popular with backpackers and tourists called the Drifters after many attempts at farming. When Roger returned from years abroad he found his parents in the sad predicament of this countries agrarian reform. Surrounding farmers were losing their farms and leaving the country in droves after years of conflict. The story is one of his brave family and their stubborn refusal to give up in the face of land grabbing and harassment. The people are brilliantly portrayed by someone who was there and as luck would have it was a gifted author . I strongly recommend to anyone who is interested in the history of this beautiful continent.
