Lost Inheritance

“Lost Inheritance” is a compelling narrative that begins in the mid-18th century with the establishment of the Khumalo kingdom and follows the colonization of Rhodesia.

It provides a detailed account of the Holl family, prominent engravers in England during Queen Victoria’s reign, and the life of Harry Patrick Holl, who became a successful wheat farmer in Bulawayo.

The story unfolds to reveal the challenges faced by Harry’s biracial children and the author, Obert Holl, born in the mid-1940s in Rhodesia. The book portrays the family’s enduring struggles under colonialism and the loss of inheritance due to societal pressures and racial injustices.

Obert Holl shares his journey of overcoming adversity, rising to significant positions in both colonial and post-independence governments, and becoming a pioneer in the accounting field in Harare. “Lost Inheritance” is a testament to resilience and triumph over formidable odds.
