In The War as I Saw It, George Makonese Matuvi invites us into the world of a young boy living through a war he doesn't understand. As violence drives his family from their home in the mountains to the streets of Zimbabwe's towns and then cities, the author shares his family's story with honesty, composure and a touch of humour. Interspersed within this tale of flight, hardship and the eventual return to rebuild, Matuvi shares stories of his life as a child, from making soccer balls out of discarded plastic bags to the tales his father told around the fire at night, adding depth and joy to his portrait of a family struggling with displacement. The War as I Saw It is not a tragedy, though there were many tragedies during the war, it is a story of love, of strength in difficulty and of the ingenuity of one family as they cope with forces beyond their control.
