ABOUT Heather Benson's account of her years in Amin's Uganda is both the story of a marriage and a reflection of a country in crisis.
Her book describes six years of an extraordinary life and offers an insight into the nightmare politics of a regime which the rest of the world long chose to ignore.
The author recounts how she, a young New Zealand woman, met Joe, a Ugandan, at Victoria University. The couple fell in love and married. In 1969, full of idealism, they returned to Uganda to live. Heather took charge of a poverty-stricken nursery school, determined to make a place for herself in her new country. But Idi Amin was beginning his ruthless rise to power, and soon the couple were drawn into a world where fear and terror became the norm.
Heather Benson left Uganda, with her children, at the end of 1975. She now lives in Wellington.
