When Her Father Takes An African Mistress, That Resolve Precipitates An Act Of Vengeance That Suggests A Chemical Reaction Between The Colonizer And The Colonized -- And Between European Yearnings And The Vastness And Solitude Of Africa.<p> A Story Told In Prose As Feverishly Rich As William Faulkner's, <i>in The Heart Of The Country</i> Is A Work Of Irresistable Power.
