How bad are you prepared to be in the name of doing good?

Idealist and serial intern, Clara McKenzie is hell-bent on saving the world. But with her funds and her parents’ sympathy running low, her latest voluntary stint, at the offices of the charity, Buzz Off Malaria, is likely to be her last. So when her boss invites her to spend two weeks in Tanzania, Clara knows she has to prove herself.

But Clara quickly discovers that development work in-country isn’t as morally straightforward as she had anticipated. A link between Buzz Off Malaria and a multinational pharmaceutical company leads Clara to uncover disturbing truths about how the charity operates.

And when a three-year-old girl is left dying of malaria in a provincial clinic, Clara begins to question the whole purpose of her, and our, role in the developing world.

    I love this book. Intelligent and engaging, the author takes a concept we think we understand, turns it on its head and quietly walks away leaving us rethinking. Funny, relatable and charming. Can't wait for her next book.

    Kate Fistric tells the adventures of a woman in her twenties who joins a British charity operating in Africa to fight malaria. The author knows what she’s writing about. What makes the novel such an entertaining read for me is that the story is told entirely from the perspective of the heroine. She’s not a Mother Theresa reborn, but a young woman who needs a job and is happy that she’s found one where she can do good. I liked that I could take part in her trials and tribulations without being told what the right development policy should be. If the book had already existed when my daughter went during her gap year to Africa to save the world, I would have put it into her rucksack.
