More about the book

Exploring a unique childhood in Rhodesia, this memoir captures the author's experiences as the son of a British official in what is now Zambia. It reflects on a life enriched by relationships with black Africans and the profound admiration for them, juxtaposed against the dislocation of being sent to boarding school in England. The term "muzungu," meaning a bewildered wanderer, symbolizes the author's journey of self-discovery and the quest for purpose through the art of writing, ultimately serving as an elegy for a lost world.
