A
thoughtful and poetic little novel about racial discrimination in
Botswana against the Bushman people. When the orphan daughter of a
Bushman who was raised by an English missionary grows up and goes to
teach in a remote village she becomes the target of contempt and hatred
by both adults and children, who had taken it for granted for too long
that Bushmen (of the Masarwa tribe) were only on Earth to be their
slaves. Then two prominent men fall in love with the lady and wage war
against each other for her sake, the first time since their long years
of friendship.
