“I enjoyed this book. There was so much interesting detail, and I found the characters and their trials quite believable. The plot is characterized by a touching romance. The scenes of past events in Africa are vivid and intense. In contrast, there is the quiet and peace of the present day at a small community college . . . disturbed by several unexplained mysteries.” — Sara ***** reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2023
