Transport yourself to the heart of South and Central Africa with this collection of short stories about ordinary people. Aged between 18 and 50, these characters find themselves entangled in situations that lead to tragedy, dishonesty, and betrayal. In one story, an older man takes advantage of his publishing manager friend's goodwill and sells a business sponsored by the manager behind his back for his own profit. In another story, an unpopular man in a company becomes a 'hero' after being attacked on a staff fishing trip on the Zambezi River, leading to his promotion and a change in attitude towards those who invited him on the trip. Other stories follow the desires of ordinary people, such as a man who searches for a married woman he met years ago in Malawi, a successful business owner who starts doing good things for others before taking a wrong turn, and an 18-year-old schoolboy who falls for his friend's girlfriend. Each story takes you on a journey of human nature and the consequences of our actions. Tragedy, dishonesty, and back-stabbing await in this compelling collection set against the backdrop of South and Central Africa.
