Content

I was blown away: to the sights and odours of Zanzibar which infuse the story; to the sounds of Sam’s bar where the narrator, a development worker with French and Canadian roots, hangs out with the expats, when she’s not visiting friends in the bush; to watch her seduction of Anton, an older academic on a visit from Madagascar; he’s attractive, and he’s willing, but there’s a ring on his finger.
