Description

Happy Valley is dismayed when the future chief's wife gives birth to a blond, green-eyed white boy, since old African wisdom says that a farmer who plants black beans, does not expect to harvest white beans. But the only white man for miles around is an old Catholic priest, too old to be the boy's father. Still he is not above suspicion, when gossip, intrigue and superstitions fly across Happy Valley threatening to derail the new chief's rise to the throne.
Meanwhile ... the sequal "The Insect Woman" -
A white couple lost in the African savannah arrives at a border post with a newly born black baby that they cannot explain to the incorruptible, black customs officer. They are detained under suspicion of child smuggling.
While waiting for detectives to arrive from the capital, many hundreds of miles away, the customs officer, his wife and his prisoners get talking and realise a common humanity, black and white, that supersedes race or origin, and they forge a bond as close as family.
