Glad I stumbled upon this one!

"Hard to find" -- go to the library, it will be well worth the trip. This is an historical novel - my very favorite way to learn historically accurate facts of a people and country interwoven with fictional characters who tell the story to us - and we quietly learn as we read. I was simply interested in Mozambique, and as well, Portugal -- from the point of view that as I grow older I realize how little I truly know! The "Pide" secret police of Portugal before the 1974 revolution are a terrifying revelation of dark forces in our time - within an ancient and proud and accomplished country. The white heat of Mozambique will have you reaching for an well iced lemonade, and an affection for her people will easily come to you. The black fly picture in your mind will make you itch and squirm, and you will wish for their destruction. And when you are finished with the book you will come here looking for more titles on Portugal and Mozambique
