Ian Mathie is the author of the African Memoir series of books, published by Mosaique Press. Recorded in notebooks kept during his years working as a rural development officer, his stories offer a unique view of Africa from the inside. Illustrating the intimate lives of the communities he lived and worked amongst and revealing facets of their cultures seldom seen by outsiders and the uninitiated, his writing will transport you deep into the hinterland and keep you reading right to the end. ‘Bride Price’ will be followed by ‘Man In A Mud Hut’.
