I’m not sure how to rate this book. It appeared to me at once a biographical about the depressing early years of an independent Zimbabwe; on the other hand, it devolved into a most personal autobiography. I am torn.I lived in Rhodesia from 1962 through 1969 with a year in Zambia sandwiched in between. I was not raised in Rhodesia but did spend nearly six of my formative years in Tanganyika. Before moving to Rhodesia as a young man I did a six months’ stint in Blantyre, Malawi, staying at Ryalls Hotel (not Riley’s as misprinted,) and have mixed feelings.From a literary perspective, Godwin’s writing style is creative, exotic and stimulating although the ‘stimulating’ part, which tends negative, was a bit much for me having lived in the country in happier times. Coming events however, were indeed casting their shadows before them in the 60s. So, I harbor little doubt that the impression he leaves is accurate. I made a flying visit to Harare, (Salisbury) in 1985 and saw the downhill trend with my own eyes. A former Shona servant of mine whom I contacted bemoaned the terrible situation and avowed how much better life had been under white rule. And Mugabe was just getting started.If you knew Rhodesia, reading this book will leave you impressed and distressed. If you didn’t, you may regard the story with a more objective eye although it’s hard to believe anyone could be objective about this international disgrace.Well worth the read if you can handle it.The Slope of Kongwa Hill: A Boy's Tale of Africa
"When a Crocodile Eats the Sun" is a magnificent memoir. It is, in my mind, the best book I have read for some years. At varying times, it can be tragic, uplifting, sad and captivating. I simply devoured it over a handful of days.Peter Godwin was born in Rhodesia, a country to which his parents emigrated after the Second World War. His mother was a doctor and his father an engineer. They were seeking a fresh start in Africa. Their hopes would have been boundless.Godwin's memoir covers the period from 1996 until 2004. It is a period in which his father's health is progressively declining and ultimately leads to his death. This decline is a metaphor for the tragedy that is modern Zimbabwe. From having been part of the nation's educated elite, Godwin's family is slowly reduced to penury. The nation is ruled by an authoritarian kleptocrat, Robert Mugabe. Single handedly, this man has run Zimbabwe down from a relatively prosperous nation with good prospects to being a beggar. One can only hope that history treats this man with the contempt that is his due.Godwin tells the story of the nation's decline through the eyes of a foreigner who now only visits the country periodically. He has moved to New York where he is a writer. On each trip home he sees a nation one step closer to anarchy. This in itself is a sad tale but when seen against the backdrop of his own father's failing health, the tale is especially tragic.Intertwined with the larger picture is a slowly revealing portrait of his father's background which had been kept secret from his children. This too is a sad story. Some people are truly dogged by the misfortunes of when and where they were born. This is certainly true for Godwin senior.I will say no more. Arguably, I have revealed too much already. However, I do thoroughly recommend this book. It is a masterpiece of compelling literature.
A great read about important events and times. A really enlightening tale which examined generally known happenings in a very detailed and shocking context. The human factors in the story were so very well done and the sense of dismay and waste palpable.Not only was the history of racial conflict and colonisation done well but also the analysis of the effects upon and reactions of, the protagonists was outstanding and set many aspects into a widely universal experience of endurance, suffering, loyalty and resistance to the point of ultimate loss.
I started reading about Mugabe and his genocidal aggression against white farmers years ago and wondered when this monster would get his just desserts. Surely it would be soon, I thought. As time went on I was amazed that nothing was being done about this disturbing situation. I just finished Peter Godwin's wonderful book "When a Crocodile Eats the Sun". It's one of those books that you only stop reading when you can't keep your eyes open any longer and the next day you are anxious to get back to it. To recap all the wonderful things in this beautifully written, yet heartbreaking memoir would take too much space of this little dialog box. Let me just say that if you want a second opinion of this book, yes! Order it. It truly encompasses so much - the good (his parents and certain black Africans) the bad (Mugabe, his henchmen and the teenage thugs terrorizing the white farmers), and the ugly (poverty and chaos caused by Mugabe's incredibly insane edicts). As Godwin points out, it's not anarchy because with anarchy, you have no leader. Zimbabwe has a leader - unfortunately he's demented and out of control. I so want Godwin to go on all the talk shows and build up awareness so someone will do something! If you log onto Zimbabwe blogs, it appears that everyone there hates him and are praying he will die but even if they get their wish, steps need to be taken so that someone even worse doesn't succeed him.
