Ruth and Seretse do not give up on their love even though their marriage is inconvenient to both Britain and Botswana. Seretse is Botswana's future king, who believes in democracy, equality and an end to racism and apartheid. A battle for love gradually becomes a battle for the future of Botswana, for the victory of right over wrong and for freedom in Africa. I especially enjoyed Ruth's story - she had no super powers except a loving heart and this was more than enough to secure her a life-long relationship with Seretse. As for him, Seretse's story shows that when we have the courage to fight for one thing that is important to us we will keep fighting for other important things as well.
