Bascom looks back in this absorbing memoir, winner of Middlebury's Breadloaf and Bakeless Prize, at the Ethiopia of his childhood, his missionary doctor parents, siblings, friends and acquaintances, boarding school in Addis Ababa and the cabin on the slopes of Lake Bishoftu. Though he's looking back at events forty years past, Bascom holds on to the immediacy and wonder of his experiences, well-grounded in day-to-day life. Established in 1946, Bingham Academy on the outskirts of the capital still exists.
