When Owen Sheers discovers a book in his father's study he stumbles upon the life of an obscure relative: Arthur Cripps, lyric poet and maverick missionary to Rhodesia. Compelled by the description of Cripps' extraordinary life in Africa, Sheers embarks on a journey through contemporary Zimbabwe.
In an attempt to better understand his ancestor's devotion to the country and its people, Sheers traces the echoes of the past into the present, revealing the dramatic and often bloody differences that resonate across the years.
