The Old Drift by Namwali Serpell

3.0

I wanted to like this book. I have been fascinated by Rhodesia/Zambia/Zimbabwe since reading Doris Lessing's books 50 years ago. The thread of the book is the history of Zambia, not the characters. Although there are some intersections of characters there is no continuity between the stories. I read every word for about 1/3 then started skipping parts that bored me then quit at about 2/3.
