This book blew my mind, and I haven't said that about any book in quite awhile. *SPOILER* The story bounces back and forth between Boston and Botswana. The entire time I assumed everything happening in both places was happening at the same time, but about halfway through it is revealed that the events in Botswana actually happened six years prior to what was happening in Boston. I literally had to stop and say "What??" out loud. Loved it, one of the best R&I books yet.

It is a book that brings me peace when I read it. Learning about the life in Botswana and this bright woman that is achieving the things she believes in is just so inspiring and amusing! Great book!
  
A murdered man in northern Botswana turns out to have died years before during a war. How was he still alive? And why was he murdered now? A bit long winded at times, but most everything proved important during the climax.

One of the greatest love stories in the past century
Rarely can you make a claim that a true relationship is the greatest love story in the past century until you hear about Seretse Khama and his wife Ruth.

As an African chieftain of Bechuanaland, now Botswana, Khama was studying law in the UK before meeting Ruth, a secretary and daughter to a British Army captain. Even after the Second World War interracial couples faced much prejudice, but none so much as a king of a British protectorate and an ordinary white woman.

Facing many trials and tribulations, even exile from his own country thanks to the British relationship with the then apartheid nation of South Africa, the couple attempt to endure endless hardships to be the rightful rulers of Botswana.

It's always magnificent when you hear these stories are based on real life events. The Notebook has nothing on this.
