This book was recommended and given to me by Andy, a New Zealand friend we trekked in Nepal around the Anapurna’s. The story plays somewhere in Africa at the time the white people started to ‘modernize’ the country. The main person is men how got to honor within his tribe and thought about how good his life was. The things started to change – started to fall apart – and his life was not as it had been before.

It is somehow a easy book to read but somehow you can also get a deeper meaning out of it, since the story can easily be transformed in our world. I think for most people it is not easy to accept changes, especially if there are not for the own benefit.
