The Dust Diaries

£7.99

Fascinated by the tales of his great, great uncle who left England in 1901 to set up a mission in Southern Rhodesia, Sheers follows in the footsteps of the maverick Anglican missionary and travels to contemporary Zimbabwe. What emerges is an intriguing mix of biography, memoir and travelogue.
The scope of the book is vast, comprising politics, history, theology and personal reflection, and in it Zimbabwe comes alive. Sheers¿ lyrical prose, boundless curiosity and enthusiasm creates a sensuous, evocative account of his own trip and of his uncle's life.
