Guardian Bookshop Notes:

B format edition of the darkly comic tale of one family's undoing and reconstruction during the course of three decades of postcolonial conflict in the Congo. A compelling exploration of religion, conscience, imperialism and the many paths to redemption. "A brilliantly realised epic of one family's journey into the heart of darkness" "Independent". "Brilliant. She says she spent thirty years waiting for the wisdom and maturity to dare to write this book. Never has such patience been more rewarded" "Literary Reveiw".

Publisher's description:

This is a story told by the wife and four daughters of Nathan Price, a fierce evangelical Baptist who takes his family and mission to the Belgian Congo in 1959.
