Kate Carrington aún recuerda su infancia en los recintos de la Misión en Langali, cerca de la frontera con Ruanda, donde su padre era médico. Pero también lo que siguió a la noche de Pascua de 1974, cuando el brutal asesinato de sus progenitores puso fin a la época más feliz de su vida. Quince años después, Kate ha roto todos sus vínculos con África y ha renunciado a esclarecer las incógnitas que rodearon aquellas muertes. Sin embargo, ni siquiera en su nuevo hogar en Australia puede evitar que el pasado vuelva a ella.
Annah Mason llegó a Tanganica en 1962 dispuesta a pisar los escenarios que conoció a través de las cartas de su tía, enfermera como ella, aunque lo que imagina es algo muy distinto a lo que le aguarda. Más allá de Langali, encontrará un África repleta de misterio, una tierra de hechiceros y sanadores, de guerreros, ritos arcanos y supersticiones. Una amistad forjada con lazos más fuertes que los de la sangre. Una tribu noble, la de los waganga. Y un amor prohibido que terminará marcando su destino.

Maravillosa. De las mejores que he leído. Varias veces la he leído y siempre increíble. ( )

La vida a l'Àfrica (Tanzania) des del punt de vista dels missioners/metges australians. Un bon inici, parts distretes, però també parts molt prescindibles. L'autora hi va viure de petita i es nota que estima la terra per la manera com ho descriu. ( )
