Beyond the Pale | Ben Woestenburg | Literary (NA) (C) (F)
It’s a rather long short story meant for reading in bed, drinking a cup of coffee and listening to the rain against the window. It’s an inter-racial love story set during the turmoil of Congo’s Independence from Belgium in 1960. Above all, it is a love story between two different people. One is a recent widow, an English schoolteacher whose husband dies on what can only be called a working honeymoon; and Livingstone, a general handyman at Bulongo Station.
