Description
This semi-autobiographical novel, from one of Africa’s most respected novelists, tells the story of a village in the heart of rural Botswana in the 1960’s. It is the story of Makhaya and the people of Botswana as they struggle to cope with changing tribal traditions, social customs, and agricultural methods; and look for ways of overcoming their principle adversary─the harsh climate.
Duraid and Royan Al Simma find the set of papyrus scrolls written by Taita, a slave to a queen of Ancient Egypt, on which he recorded the whereabouts of the tomb of Pharaoh Mamose. But before the Egyptologists can mount an expedition to search for the tomb, Duraid is murdered.Recommended for older readers.
