"This historical novel gives a panoramic view of a very important but little-known corner of Africa from the beginning of time to its not-too-distant future. The peoples of Zimbabwe, Malawi, and Zambia are altered by immigrants from near and far, then colonizers. Finally Chimbos and Patels, then Bandas and Phiris, and mostly the Siame Family of Livingstone grow Zambia into a country of great hope but dashed dreams. At last Priscilla Siame, her family and friends who are in many ways a typical fusion of tradition and modernity that is Africa today, take responsibility for their homeland and bring this tale to an unexpected and stunning conclusion."--Back cover.
