- Stories of Expatriate Life in Africa

Bag om Nestlings

A young boy learning about life in a small mission boarding school in Central Africa; development workers trying to build roads across barren countryside, provide logistical support to a failing state, and assist in relief efforts after the Rwandan genocide; a "Perfect Embassy Wife" struggling to keep her marriage together: These are some of the characters that inhabit the stories in Nestlings. Author Paul Olson's rich descriptions of expatriate life in the developing world during the second half of the twentieth century will appeal to anyone who has served in the Peace Corps, the Foreign Service, or development work, and to those with an interest in travel and adventure off the beaten track.
