Summary: Compelling reading
Comment: This is a quite compelling and captivating book that really makes you think.An un named African country in an idyllic setting is suddenly changed when Europeans escaping an impending nuclear war crash land. The twists and turns this story takes show how interaction between various peoples could either be positive or negative. A people's way of life was certainly changed.

Rating: 4
Summary: Story of a rape of a culture
Comment: A review of another of the author's books used the term "deceptively simple". I couldn't put it better about this story of a "civilized" culture happening upon a simpler, sheltered people. The story provides a perfect vehicle for the author to show not only how greed and prejudice poisons a people, but how all of us, in the "right" circumstances, can possess these qualities and let them overcome our better instincts.
