At first I couldn't decide if this was intended to be drama, satire, or comedy. Now I think it is a clever combination of all three. It's the story of a white baby raised by black Africans in the Belgian Congo back in the 1950s. It's told with humor and satire combined with a keen sense of the different cultures - the author is the daughter of missionaries and spent time in the Congo as a child. Well done and insightful.
