title: Letters from Kinshasa: My Love Affair with Disaster
author: Milly Guildford
description: Milly Guildford lived in Kinshasa for three and a half years with the unlikely objective of bringing good governance to that war-torn country. She loves writing, finds people puzzling, enjoys new places, and loves Africa-though she is somewhat confused about its good and bad points. In spite of many relationship crises, she still likes the opposite sex.
