Solomon's Prayer: An Epic Boyhood Story Of Extreme Danger And Survival [Paperback]

In 1955, when six-year-old Christopher Devereau arrives in Rhodesia after spending his early childhood in the New Forest, he is ill prepared for the harsh regime for children. Based on the author's eighteen months in Colonial Africa this novel is an epic story of extreme danger and survival and of Christophers struggle to return to normality back in England, having run wild for months on Shanzu beach and turned native. Solomon's Prayer is a powerful and compelling account of an extraordinary childhood.
