Publisher's Synopsis
In 1978, in the final phase of the Zimbabwean civil war, my family moved to Rainbow's End, a beautiful farm on the banks of a river. I was a shy, horse-obsessed eleven-year-old. We had our own ostriches, herds of impala and a pet giraffe. But when you grow up in a war, death, fear, heroism and loss shape your life. RAINBOW'S END is about a uniquely wonderful place, when Africa was in the twilight of Colonialism and the early days of Independence - and about war through the eyes of a child. It's about growing up at a time that was magical and privileged, and what it's like to discover that virtually everything you've ever believed and understood about your life and country is a lie.
