Fascinated by a mysterious novella, aspiring journalist Robin Fletcher is determined to find out more about the book's main character, a man known only as J.B. His quest leads him from the wheat fields of Kansas to a small, disadvantaged country in Africa.
Thousands of miles from Kansas, in the small village of Ataku, half-caste chief Letivi grapples with his village's problems. The villagers' main source of income, subsistence cocoa farming, cannot compete with global companies. Young people are leaving the village, and the village's only store is under the control of a foreign businessman.
Letivi also has personal problems. Wifeless and childless, his ability to understand the family struggles of his village is under question. His supernaturally sensitive mother is dying, a tragedy coinciding with the death of the enormous baobab tree into which Letivi's father disappeared years ago.
As Letivi and the villagers plan the development of a cocoa processing plant, Fletcher traces J.B. to Ataku, prompting a spontaneous trip to Africa with Molly, a ravishing but erratic woman with family ties to the elusive J.B. When Letivi, Molly, and Robin meet, cultures clash and calamitous events are set in motion that change Ataku forever.
Africa Heart The Journey Ends in Kansas edition by Mark Wentling Literature Fiction eBooks
This is the best of the trilogy. Wentling knows his subject well. His descriptions of young Americans visiting Africa for the first time is how I remembered my similar experience 40 years ago. While I had some difficulty with the fantasy parts, the author is right about the role the supernatural plays in Africa. His characters are a bit wooden, and his writing style takes some time to get used to. I had to imagine I was a young reader instead of an old lodger. The plot was good and kept me turning the pages. His descriptions of the young African experiencing the U.S. was close to experiences that Africans who had made the first trip outside Africa earlier in their lives was similar to Wentling's story of Letivi. The sex was clinical and unconvincing. But I enjoyed the book. Anyone planning to visiting Africa for the first time, especially to one of the less. Touristy places will get a lot from this book, but one needs to remember it was written about a period long gone.Product details
