Enjoy two love stories out of Africa, each in a different country and era. The first concerns a young English widow left penniless in one of Sudan's worst refugee camps. Love grows amid the horror of total poverty with refugees attacked by a warlord juggling to acquire oil under the camp in today's heartless rush for oil. In contrast, is love growing in 1930's Ethiopia during the luxury afforded by Haile Selassie's coronation, when an American teenage orphan is aided by a heroic British officer during the horrific war that follows.
