Riassunto

What if our best effort turns into our worst nightmare?When a hardworking French priest in the Congo tells an agnostic British journalist, “God is just the best that we can be”, he unleashes a chain of dramatic events that will resonate from Kinshasa to Kingston-upon-Thames.Rising to the ethical challenge, journalist Frank befriends twelve-year-old Dudu - a homeless Congolese boy accused of sorcery - and promises to help him return to his family.But streetwise Dudu is nobody’s fool. Their unlikely partnership disintegrates with profound consequences for them both - and for Frank’swife and kids waiting in London.In this colourful and humorous travelogue, what you see is not what you get, but a little faith goes a long way.The story continues in Child Witch London."If you liked The Poisonwood Bible, then Child Witch Kinshasa is for you." (Mail & Guardian, Johannesburg)
