Used. Paperback. Peter Godwin’s memoir offers a searing snapshot of a personal and political implosion as he shuttles between Manhattan and a rapidly unraveling Zimbabwe. While his aging parents stubbornly cling to their adopted homeland amid mounting violence and chaos, Godwin investigates the stubborn roots of their loyalty alongside a shocking familial secret. It’s a beautifully rendered chronicle of a crumbling country and a complicated family, proving that truth is often stranger—and far more poignant—than fiction. If you like your memoirs equal parts gripping history and deeply intimate detective work, snap this one up before it bites.
