The Herdsman's Daughter
by Bernard Chahilu
Rebecca deceives herself that she is a sophisticated modern woman. Her story is a portrait of her evolution in a society standing on the threshold of change. She desperately seeks self-discovery in a society often suspicious of and sometimes outrightly hostile towards a girl who enjoys the benefits of modern western education, perceiving her as spoilt and a bad influence on the younger generation. Yet elements of this very society do not hesitate to take advantage of her youthful naivety.
