Spare and rather remarkable. Unsentimental and stern and filled with honoured things. — Peter Merrington, South African scholar, artist and poet, author of Zebra Crossings: Tales from the Shaman’s Record; There are different kinds of belonging. There’s the kind that comes with a passport, and there’s a kind of helpless, spiritual attachment. Jane Bryce, revisiting the places where she spent her Tanzanian childhood, finds them haunted by the ghosts of a colonial past. In this painfully honest and insightful memoir she explores the themes of identity and belonging and how these can survive a lifetime apart. — Sally Keeble, British political activist, author of She, You, I
