Mike and Phoebe, the die hard Rhodie and the hard-nosed hooker, meet in the squalor of Beira. They know instinctively that they are right for one another, but with so many outside forces playing on their lives, will their love ever be requited? Cyclone Blues - set in present-day Zimbabwe and Mozambique, both still suffering from the aftermath of civil war - is the story of love across the color bar, murder, vengeance and forgiveness. The plot whirls with surprises and revelations and is used as a means of investigating the more profound matters of interracial relations and attitudes and the problems of a troubled southern Africa. A beautiful love story and an historical tour de force.
