Reviews

[Rachel Horwell · Rating 1 out of 5]

Behold, a book that has not aged well. Very colonialist and superior white Christian man coming to save the Africans. Heavy on the Christian preaching morals and putting down the local customs and ways. I am sure the missionary hospitals did many good deeds to help the local community but it does read in a very dated way and propaganda for the Christian cause a plenty.

Good story but a bit jumbled.
