Mr Bigstuff and the goddess of charm: parties, cars, love & ambition south of the Sahara

Trama

She describes the people she meets in hairdressers and hotel bedrooms, in shops and community halls. There are funny descriptions of lecherous old men and the pompous foreign press, of a terrible car accident where a broken arm is mistaken for a dislocated one and a charm school in the heart of conservative Zambia.
