Wow Paula, I really love your description of Zambia as a butterfly, beautiful but fragile. I have always just seen it as histories joke on those of us who, as students, had to draw the map.Shows how much imagination I have! I am definitely adopting your description, far more poetic. I look forward to reading the book. Good lucK with it all.
Thanks Mwanabibi, I remember drawing the map as well – and at that stage never thought of it as a butterfly … ! But now I do. Thanks for your good wishes.
Hi Paula, Congrats on getting on the CBI book awards shortlist. You totally deserve it for your beautiful book…mind you I’m dead jealous! I hope you win it. All the best, John Newman
Thank you John, you’re very good and I am perfectly thrilled by it. Sorry you are not there with Tao!
