This is a story about a paradise lost. . . . About an African dream that began with a murder . . . In 1978, in the final, bloodiest phase of the Rhodesian civil war, eleven-year-old Lauren St John moves with her family to Rainbow's End, a wild, beautiful farm and game reserve set on the banks of a slowflowing river. The house has been the scene of a horrific attack by guerrillas, and when Lauren's family settles there, a chain of events is set in motion that will change her life irrevocably. Rainbow's End captures the overwhelming beauty and extraordinary danger of life in the African bush. Lauren's childhood reads like a girl's own adventure story. At the height of the war, Lauren rides through the wilderness on her horse, Morning Star, encountering lions, crocodiles, snakes, vicious ostriches, and mad cows. Many of the animals are pets, including Miss Piggy and Bacon and an elegant giraffe named Jenny. The constant threat of ruthless guerrillas prowling the land underscores everything, making each day more dangerous, vivid, and prized than the last. After Independence, Lauren comes to the bitter realization that she'd been on the wrong side of the civil war. While she and her family believed that they were fighting for democracy over Communism, others saw the war as black against white. And when Robert Mugabe comes into power, he oversees the torture and persecution of thousands of members of an opposing tribe and goes on to become one of Africa's legendary dictators. The ending of this beautiful memoir is a fist to the stomach as Lauren realizes that she can be British or American, but she cannot be African. She can love it -- be willing to die for it -- but she cannot claim Africa because she is white.Binding Type: Paperback

Attractive, easy to install, not the strongest
Size: 3pcs, Color: A. Brown, Size: 3pcs, Color: A. Brown
We bought these shelves as part of a bathroom refresh. They installed easily, and were easy to align because of the included little bubble level. The shelves came with plenty of screws and mollies, especially because we only wound up installing two out of three. I like the storage basket, which holds a few rolls of toilet paper nicely. The shelves fit snuggly on the floating rods, especially after fully installed.
The one downside is they feel a little cheap. The shelf does not feel super sturdy, so I wouldn't put anything really heavy on it. For bathroom decorations, it looks great, but this is not a system for storing lots of books.

Great set for the price!
Size: 3pcs, Color: A. Brown
Really nice shelf set for the price. The shelves look great, were easy to install, and are sturdy. I love the flexibility you have in setting the height of each shelf and the distance from one shelf to another if placing them together on a wall. You can arrange them how you'd like - straight under one another, staggered, on a diagonal. And the fact that you can place them on multiple walls is a great feature as well. Really happy with this purchase.

Very nice hidden bracket shelves
Size: 3pcs, Color: A. Brown, Size: 3pcs, Color: A. Brown
Nice shelves and easy to install. Simply put the first shelf bracket where you want, throw the provided level on it and Mark the holes. I had to use the drywall anchors since I didn’t have studs behind the desired location but you might luck out and catch one on your location.
The shelves are really nice looking, light weight and should be a good fit just about anywhere.

Looks great and solves space issues
Size: 3pcs, Color: A. Brown
This is great for a small bathroom. It frees up your counter space and at the same time looks good. You can put your essentials like q tips, cotton balls, etc in decorative containers and add a small plant or sign and you have made your cluttered bathroom look awesome.
