Shaun, 54, leads a perfectly normal life, thank you very much. Sure, it is a life that has been boring recently, and mired in depression after the collapse of his second marriage, but he is coping with getting through life on a day-to-day basis. But one day, while walking his dog, Shaun comes across a mysterious bag, filled with money and diamonds, and most worryingly a dead body nearby. In the spur of the moment, Shaun makes the decision to take the bag home. Suddenly, Shaun has a new lease on life, as he works to avoid both the police and the criminals looking for the bag so that he can hold on to this fortune that could change his life for the better. When he meets a lovely woman, while spending some of his ill-gotten gains, he feels that everything is finally coming together for him. But the Bag is not finished with him yet

The Pangolin Diary offers reflections and insights by an Australian male midwife working in remote, rural Zimbabwe in the early 1990s, as AIDS and TB spread their shadow across the continent. Some stories are funny, many are sad, but they offer a range of perspectives on midwifery, health care and life in Zimbabwe. Says author David Stanley: "The book addresses my first year as a midwife and midwifery tutor in Africa and tells the story of my arrival at Murambinda Mission Hospital and transition to life away from my friends and family. The Pangolin Diary also deals with issues of grief and loneliness, the building of friendships and the medical and social issues faced by Zimbabwean women as they grapple with the impact of HIV/AIDS and other medical and midwifery conditions." Read along as the author struggles to understand and adjust to the strange or unusual customs, while facing the challenges, isolation, and dangers of working in a medically confronting, resource poor, and overburdened health service.
