Title: Twenty Chickens for a Saddle: The Story of an African Childhood
Author: Robyn Scott
Publisher:Penguin
Year: 2008
464 pages
Robyn Scott's family is pleasingly eccentric, so her developmental adventures in Botswana are enjoyable and sometimes odd or alarming. I could leave it at that, but another thread that runs through the stories is the ever-increasing presence of HIV in the community. This interested me as much as, if not more than, Scott's amusing episodic memoir.
