The Steady Bookkeeper

by Kathy Mansfield

Runner Up in the Leaf Winter Short Story Competition 2006

‘…a really nice, steady sort of chap one of them had said. Yes, another had agreed, and not one of those always pleading for a loan before the end of the month.’

Paul Phiri is an ordinary, decent man in an ordinary, decent life: taking care of his family, holding down a ‘good’ job, respected in his community. He is just one of millions of people living ordinary lives in Africa, neither starving nor caught up in a war. But Africa is not ordinary, and doing ‘the right thing’ is not a straightforward decision in this moving and sparingly told story of a seemingly unexceptional life.
