The Old Drift
Synopsis
The saga of three families in mainly Zambia, passing by England, Italy and India.
It starts at the end of the 19th century, and goes on with chapters of the life of family numbers, with in-between a page each time written by mosquitoes.
It ends in a kind of scifi-ish way with a new small city-state zambia after the three last main heroes destroy the dam.

My take
It was really well written -- there was some sentences that you would enjoy reading twice as they were really well written.
The sci-fi part, at the end of the book, not so sci-fi but a little bit, with mini mosquitoe bots, was good and believable.
It was also interesting to read about Zambia, a country that is not in the news often, and its history.
Like how they had a " Space Program" that was serious and not at the same time, mainly a tool for political recognition and financing.
I will read that author again I think.
