In 1964 Rhodesia, missionary's son Evan is torn between his white schoolmates, with their anti-black beliefs, and his African sahwira (dear friend), Blessing. Blessing, son of the Mission's pastor, tries to live a Christian life but prickles when whites treat Africans like servants. Alternating chapters describe Rhodesia's budding chimurenga (liberation war) from each boy's perspective. This affecting story raises thoughtful questions. Glos.
