      About This Book

      When Mavala Shikongo deserted them, the teachers at the
      boys' school in Goas weren't surprised. How could they be?
      She was too beautiful, too powerful, and too mysterious
      for their tiny, remote, and arid world. They knew only one
      essential fact about their departed colleague: she was a
      combat veteran of Namibia's brutal war for independence.
      When Mavala returns to Goas with a baby son, all are awed
      by her boldness. The teachers try hard, once again, not to
      fall in love with her. They fail, immediately and miserably,
      especially the American volunteer, Larry Kaplanski.
