Hmmph and here I was thinking that this thread was full of spoilers It's about a family of missionaries who go to the Congo in the late nineteen fifties, told from the perspective of several of them

I thought the book was really gripping for the first two thirds, but then it got a bit... soggy. I think because the first two thirds took place over 18 months, whereas the next third was spread over thirty years, so lacked any impact. Still worth reading though, hence me sending it up to you

Yes the last third, skipping over decades, was rather unsatisfactory .
