Strongly placed in the stunning countryside of Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia), this is a lyrical and utterly gripping story which reveals the enormous human cost of the major political upheavals which have swept through the country. Tariro and Katie come from different worlds and grow up twenty five years apart but both have to deal with the fracturing of their society as the old order of white supremacy is swept aside. Both girls know what it means to be far from home. Atmospheric, gripping and epic in scope, Far from Home brings the turbulent history of this country vividly and tangibly to life.
