More about the book

Set in Mochudi, a significant town in Botswana, the narrative follows Sandy Grant, who escapes his London publishing job in 1963 to engage deeply with the local community. Amidst famine and the lingering effects of apartheid, he collaborates with Chief Linchwe II and witnesses Botswana's tumultuous transition to independence. Grant's account reflects on tribal life, social injustices, and his hands-on role in local development, capturing a rich tapestry of personalities and events that shaped the nation’s early years.
