`Her love both for Africa and its people has created as true an account of the continent as I have read for some time . . . so convincing that when I finished the book and went for a walk, I was surprised to find myself in London’ Sunday Times
`From a sanctimonious Kenneth Kaunda to a wily old freedom fighter in 1980s Sierra Leone, sexy barmen, stuck-up aid workers, French legionnaires and ageing prostitutes, everyone is depicted with enough verve to come alive . . . The equal of anything by Patrick Marnham or Paul Theroux, this is one of the best books on Africa for a long time’ Spectator

`Insightful and timely . . . An editor and producer on the BBC African Service since 1980, Fiona Sax Ledger has her own hugely well-informed take on life on this extraordinary continent. Surreal, observant and touching in equal measure’ Scotsman

`A very amusing book by a writer who really knows Africa . . . Fiona Sax Ledger shows the diversity of a continent whose countries and peoples are too often thrown, all done for, into the same bag’ Giles Foden

Fiona Sax Ledger lives in North London with her daughter. They have another home and more family in Uganda. She began her writing career reporting on the performance of back-hoe loaders and concrete mixers in West Africa.
