Man Proposes—Rose Disposes: Life, Love and Other Misadventures.
()
About this ebook
In 1980 Rhodesia became Zimbabwe, and the total collapse of the economy began.
By the year 2000, most of the Europeans, including all her family, had died or left the country, and Rose was alone in her house with a pistol for protection, fighting off intruders best she could, finally leaving Zimbabwe to live in Australia with her daughters. Taking what she could fit in her car and the maximum holiday allowance, she skipped the country for good.
Stripped of all her lifes savings in Zimbabwe by the collapse of the economy, she considers herself lucky to be alive to tell the tale.
The details of some of those encounters are extremely funny.

Her lifes adventures spanned several continents and numerous relationships, some less hazardous than others, also several proposals, two marriages and two divorces.
