Set in the second half of the 20th century, this is the story of an American Baptist preacher who goes on an assignment to the Congo with his unhappy family, which breaks up into small groups. The chapters deal with one person at a time and reveal a fascinating insight into other people's lives. I thought the book incredibly well written and researched and was very glad to have read it.
