Christina Lamb is a British jounalist who brings us this dramatic account of the country, as seen through the eyes of a typical white Rhodesian/Zimbabwean farmer, who finally loses his farm, and an equally typical black Zimbabwean woman, who ends up working for his family. The book is a riveting page-turner with a surprising ending. I highly recommend it.
(Just after reading the book, I happened to visit this tragic country, which was once truly one of the jewels of Africa and is now a place of so much dispair. House of Stone made it all the more meaningfull for me.)
