PositiveThe New York Times Book Review[A] sharply observed satire of the white-savior complex and the poisonous legacy of colonialism ... Crouch too remains an outsider, and [...] her novel is less about Namibia and more about how foreigners inscribe themselves upon it ... The antics are fun to watch [...] — like observing an accident in which you were not involved. If only it were not quite so easy to recoil from these characters, to pretend that their blinders are unlike our own.
