Hailed by reviewers as "powerful,""haunting" and "a tour de force
of personal journalism,"When A Crocodile Eats the Sun is the
unforgettable story of one man's struggle to discover his past and
come to terms with his present. Award winning author and journalist
Peter Godwin writes with pathos and intimacy about Zimbabwe's
spiral into chaos and, along with it, his family's steady collapse.
This dramatic memoir is a searing portrait of unspeakable tragedy
and exile, but it is also vivid proof of the profound strength of
the human spirit and the enduring power of love.
"In the tradition of Rian Malan and Philip Gourevitch, a deeply
moving book about the unknowability of an Africa at once thrilling
and grotesque. In elegant, elegiac prose, Godwin describes his
father's illness and death in Zimbabwe against the backdrop of
Mugabe's descent into tyranny. His parent's waning and the
country's deterioration are entwined so that personal and political
tragedy become inseparable, each more profound for the presence of
the other" -- Andrew Solomon, author of The Noonday Demon
"A fascinating, heartbreaking, deeply illuminating memoir that has
the shape and feel of a superb novel." -Kurt Anderson, author of
Heydey
