I want to love this book, but it's been an incredible slog so far; some of the character stories grip me and I'm pulled along until it's time to move on to someone else I'm not as interested in following. The semi-historical, often fantastical backdrop of colonial Zambia is really what sets this work apart. The rest can largely be summed up by, "Jeez, cis dudes sure do ruin a lot of women's hopes and dreams!"
