When Owen Sheers discovers a book in his father's study he stumbles upon the life of an obscure relative: Arthur Cripps, lyric poet and maveric missionary to Rhodesia. Compelled by the description of Cripps' extraordinary life in Africa, Sheers embarks on a journey through contemporary Zimbabwe in an attempt to better understand Arthur's devotion to the country, the legacy of a hidden love a the heart of the story and the dramatic, often bloody, differences that echo across the years.
