Full synopsis
A humorous memoir of a privileged life in colonial Africa, with interludes of reflections by a white child of German Jewish refugees on indignities visited on the lives of ordinary black Africans. Set in Rhodesia in the 1950s and early 1960s, the author allows us a glimpse of his idiosyncratic family, the oddities of a vibrant Jewish community in the heart of Africa, all-white schooling clothed with the trappings of Empire, visits to apartheid South Africa and his ham fisted first attempts at courtship.
