About this ebook
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:
#1 When I wake in the night, I call Vanessa because she isn’t armed. Van! Van, hey! I hiss across the room until she wakes up. Then Vanessa hands me the candle, and we pee sleepily into the flickering yellow light.
#2 The loo can be unpredictable. It can either refuse to flush at all or just gurgle and splutter water. It can be scary, but you have to get used to it.
#3 I can hear July setting tea on the veranda, and I can smell the first fresh singe of Dad’s morning cigarette. I balance Fred on my shoulder and come out for tea: strong with no sugar, a splash of milk, the way Mum likes it.

When we got to Lusaka, Dad and I dropped off the generator at the Indian’s workshop on Ben Bella Road. We bought boiled eggs and slabs of white cornbread from a kiosk on the side of Cha Cha Cha Road, near the roundabout that led to Kafue, the Gymkhana Club, or home, depending on where we got off.
#5
I would be in heaven if I weren’t going back to school. I was in Africa with my parents, and I was enjoying it until my father had to give the customs official a
