Description
Set in Botswana, this ambitious and richly detailed novel follows an American anthropologist whose encounter with an enigmatic, charismatic man draws her into an unusual community devoted to radical social and economic ideals. As desire, intellect, and political conviction collide, the narrative examines power, gender, cultural difference, and the difficult human search for connection. Both a provocative love story and a searching exploration of development and poverty, the book is distinguished by its expansive ideas, sharp observations, and complex first-person voice.
