Mukiwa - A White Boy in Africa

Mukiwa begins in the magnificent mountains of eastern Rhodesia in the 1960s. In the eyes of young Peter Godwin, the land is an endless source of wonder and adventure: of leopard hunting, witch doctors, lepers, and snakes. Then one day he stumbles upon the body of his neighbor, killed by African guerillas.

First sentence: "I think I first realized something was wrong when our next neighbour, oom Piet Oberholzer, was murdered."
