I Thoroughly enjoyed this novel. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was unlike other novels out there on the subject. It was a refreshing read on the history of the Congo told from the perspective of two native sons of the Congo. The two parts in the book is also an ingenuous approach, giving a voice to the narrator, Ms. Dawson, in telling two stories set in different worlds, yet within the same context of the pursuit of the land of the natives, which was King Leopold's private ambition. This novel, a superb historical fiction, is suitable for a television mini-series or a full length feature film. I cannot recommend this novel enough and would absolutely be delighted to see on screen. To the writers, a job well done. Will love to read Part 2 if and when it is released. Until then as Ms. Dawson would put it, "Godspede!'"
