p61, An Elegy for Easterly, by Petina Gappah
I was quite taken by this teaser as I was reading this short story at the breakfast table this morning. It's one of many short stories in the collection within An Elegy for Easterly. They're all set in Zimbabwe. I'm really enjoying a short story each morning with a bowl of porridge!
I am adding this one to my TBR list. My TT: http://www.rundpinne.com/2011/05/teaser-tuesdays-wrecker.html
