Mozambique Mysteries by Lisa St Aubin De Teran
MOZAMBIQUE MYSTERIES is about turning fifty and finding a new direction. Lisa St Aubin de Teran travelled to Mozambique and, for the first time in her much-travelled life, felt at home - in a place 'so remote that few have visited it since the time of Vasco da Gama'. After three marriages and various affairs, she also fell in love. She set up a school and, together with her niece, the Teran Foundation. From the acclaimed author of THE HACIENDA,MOZAMBIQUE MYSTERIES is a story of new beginnings in a country of contrasts and challenges - her most inspiring story yet.
** 'Teran's writing has won many accolades and one can see why: it is vivid, intense and nicely cadenced' NEW STATESMAN ** 'A good example of what a little foreign money and local determination can achieve.. this book bears witness to a good kind of madness of which many will be jealous' INDEPENDENT ** 'Inspirational... an excellent first-hand guide to Mozambique' TRIBUNE ** 'Her new incarnation is possibly her most extraordinary yet . . .She conjures up the hypnotic effect the place had on her in some of the book's lyrical passages - deserted, crystal-water beaches, tropical mangroves, half-ruined colonial palaces are described lovingly - but she's equally concerned with communicating the shocking poverty in this forgotten corner of Africa' IRISH TIMES
