Lively, powerful, and evocative: Zimbabwe from a personal view. Letters to a friend.
Kara is a cosmopolitan woman in the prime of her life. After living in Asia, Australia, and eastern Africa, she is now living, for the first time, in southern Africa. Quite different from the protagonists in Norman Rush's stories"Whites", whose loss of optimism and courage is echoed in laments about the dirt, the boredom, and the barren land scorched by the fierce sun, Kara takes a refreshing stance towards her new home.
She derives her energy from writing letters to her best friend Hannah and from nature and people she encounters on her frequent travels through Zimbabwe.
Kara Benson's style stands out due to its lively, powerful, and evocative way of narration which is, at times, pointedly ironic.
