商品簡介
商品簡介
In 1975, Uganda's Finance Minister escaped to England saying, "To live in Uganda today is hell." Idi Amin had declared himself president for life, the economy had crashed, and Ugandans were disappearing. One year later, Sari Fordham's family arrived as Seventh-day Adventist missionaries. Wait for God to Notice is an account of her family's time in Uganda during Idi Amin's dictatorship. Sari, the youngest daughter, narrates her childhood with lush, observant prose that is also at times quite funny. She describes her family's insular faith, her mother's Finnish heritage, the growing conflict between her parents, the dangerous politics of Uganda, and the magic of living in a house in the jungle. Driver ants stream through their bedrooms, mambas drop out of the stove, and monkeys steal their tomatoes and chatter at them from the trees. While the book is a memoir, the author is very interested in history and startling facts, and weaves both in through lively prose. Readers will learn about hippos, driver ants, the Finnish language, even about Millerites selling their belongings and waiting for Jesus to come.
