“Denver Isaac is a masterful narrator…Isaac switches believably between masculine and feminine characters as well as between expat and native voices. His expertise is especially notable in the chapters told from the perspective of Rosie, an African–American girl who has moved to Zimbabwe with her parents. Isaac brings out the humor in Rosie’s internal monologue with a high-pitched girlish voice. Listeners will love this multilayered story told in a strong style.”

This is the Story of Five Marriages and One Gun
A British couple wonders at the unknowable city beyond their guarded compound while building walls between themselves.
An American suspects his new home is having an insidious effect on his Zimbabwean wife and their young daughter.
An enthusiastic young intellectual follows his wife to the city and finds only danger and disillusion.
An intelligence officer loses a crucial piece of evidence. It will cost him his marriage, his mistress, and maybe his life.
An impoverished taxi driver and his wife find a gun in the cab.
From this point on, all their lives are tied to the trigger.
In C.B. George's Zimbabwe, the betrayals and conspiracies of the corrupt world are nothing compared to those of marriage.
