Summary

Set along the mysterious rivers and deep forests of colonial Africa, Again Sanders follows the experiences of Commissioner Sanders as he governs the vast and often dangerous territories under British rule. With wit and firmness, Sanders enforces order among the diverse tribes, navigating intricate local customs and dispensing justice from the deck of his little white steamer.
 
As rebellions brew, secret societies rise, and supernatural fears surface among the native peoples, Sanders must rely on his unique understanding of both European governance and tribal traditions to maintain peace—often through unconventional methods.
 
A vivid portrait of colonial rule, adventure, and human nature in Africa emerges through a series of compelling stories.

    God Sees the Truth But Waits

    "God Sees the Truth, But Waits"  is a short story by Russian author Leo Tolstoy first published in 1872. The story, about a man sent to prison for a murder he did not commit, takes the form of a parable of forgiveness. English translations were also published under titles "The Confessed Crime", "Exiled to Siberia", and "The Long Exile". The concept of the story of a man wrongfully accused of murder and banished to Siberia also appears in one of Tolstoy's previous works, War and Peace, during a philosophical discussion between two characters who relate the story and argue how the protagonist of their story deals with injustice and fate. Along with his story The Prisoner of the Caucasus, Tolstoy personally considered this work to be his only great artistic achievement.

    “Extraordinarily fine. Kingsolver has a Chekhovian tenderness toward her characters. . . . The title story is pure poetry.” —Russell Banks, New York Times Book Review 
With the same wit and sensitivity that have come to characterize her highly praised and beloved novels, acclaimed author Barbara Kingsolver, recipient of numerous literary awards including the Pulitzer Prize, the National Humanities Medal, the Dayton Literary Peace Prize, and National Book Foundation's Medal for Distinguish Contribution to American Letters, gives us a rich and emotionally resonant collection of short stories. 
Spreading her memorable characters over landscapes ranging from Northern California to the hills of eastern Kentucky and the Caribbean island of St. Lucia, Kingsolver tells stories of hope, momentary joy, and powerful endurance. In every setting, her distinctive voice— at times comic, but often heartrending—rings true as she explores the twin themes of family ties and the life choices one must ultimately make alone. 
Homeland and Other Stories creates a world of love and possibility that readers will want to take as their own.
