Peter’s mother is dying. Born in England, and having spent most of her
adult life as a doctor in Zimbabwe, she now lies on a hospital bed in
the partitioned living room of his sister’s London house, her accent
having overnight become posher than the Queen’s.
Peter has spent his life missing his Zimbabwean childhood, whether as a
conscript in the Rhodesian army in the 1970s, writing about conflicts
across the African continent and beyond or settling in New York with
his English wife and transatlantic children. In his mother’s final
months, he must come to terms with everything his family was – and
wasn’t: the secrets they kept from one another, the stoicism that
sometimes threatened to destroy them and the beauty of the wildly
different places they called home.
In Exit Wounds, Peter Godwin considers the life of émigrés, exiles and
refugees, and grieves the many losses that make life both magnificent
and unbearable. With generations of history behind him, he brings us
into the spaces that make us question, suffer and celebrate the lives
we have among family and friends, and the healing of our own scars.
