Black Pearls - Paperback Edition - 368 pages
Fully aware of the explosive political situation in Southern Rhodesia, Karl Hofmeister leaves behind a failed marriage in Germany and travels to Africa to fulfil a five year teaching contract. There he marries the native teacher Margaret Nagatali, but despite this has an affair with her friend Beauty Makoni. Discriminatory practices and repressive laws force many of the citizens to flee the country including Beauty who settles in Zambia. Karl learns that she is pregnant, and is convinced she is carrying his child. He too accepts a headmaster’s position in Kenya, leaving his heart behind with the last in a string of lovers; the young political radical named Joy Padzani. When she joins The Underground Liberation Movement and disappears, a disillusioned Karl convinces his wife to return to Germany with him and an anonymous letter sent to her there, shatters their already fragile marriage.
