Description
When a Crocodile Eats the Sun is a personal and powerful account of the author's return to his birthplace, Zimbabwe, in 2006. Peter Godwin, a renowned writer, is summoned by his mother to face the reality of his ailing father and the country's descent into violence and racial hatred.
Godwin's journey takes him back to the post-colonial success story that once was Zimbabwe, and the devastating consequences of its failure. With unflinching honesty, he recounts his experiences and the complexities of his own identity, as he navigates the treacherous landscape of his homeland.
This book is a deeply personal and thought-provoking exploration of family, identity, and the fragility of the human spirit. It is a powerful and moving account of one man's struggle to come to terms with his past and his place in the world.
