...fast as the vehicles roll over the acres around Sabie, west of the capital of Maputo, destroying the mines, the farmers stream in behind, planting corn and squash, grazing goats and cows. Francisco Mucavele is one of them. For 10 years he was confined within the perimeter of the little settlement of Chavane, bounded by fear of the minefields. "We felt like prisoners in the village," he says. "Now I can go anywhere I want...

In fact, the discontinuity embedded in the structure actually facilitates the reader's comprehension of intrachapter flash-backs and seemingly out-of-place transcriptions of dialogue between Sarah and her analyst. Linear narrative and a continuous stream of events are not so important to the plot as the actual events them-selves--much in the same way that the images of a dream don't present themselves in any discernible order, but when properly analyzed, make a great deal more sense.

Then the winter rains started. Toward the end of January, the couple's driveway had started to heave. A week later, the house began to torque and twist so that windows cracked and doors hung askew.
