kim_mcdougall's review against another edition
5.0
Not having read the other books in this series, I went into this story blind. But the author backtracked just enough to get me up to speed without dragging the story down. I was quickly drawn into Amie's story. She's a strong willed and passionate character. And the exotic settings were really interesting. Most of the story is set in a small African country, and the culture was vividly drawn. Then came the drama, ramping up page after page as Amie faces obstacles that most of us could never imagine. Highly recommend this one and I'll be looking for others in the series now!

What I love most of about all these Amie books is learning so much about the way of life in Africa. Their culture, beliefs, and politics are so different from those of the western world. Well, corruption exists in politics everywhere, as you'll discover in this book. But it's how the belief in curses and such play a role in the lives of even those who are educated that makes this such a compelling read.
And as always, you'll love seeing it the way Amie sees things. Her love for her adopted homeland brings so much beauty to the way of life of the African people. A must read if you've ever wondered about the life in Africa.
