Opis

Sweeping in scope, both historically and geographically, the author weaves a rich tapestry of characters (real and imagined) in a Kenya poised between colonialism and independence. He intertwines political and personal - rise of Mau Mau in last days of colonialism looms large over a plot centring on two love stories and a deep friendship.

Recenzje

One of the most impressive things about this fine novel is that it gives voice to a people some of whose forebears were in Africa before the Portuguese. It must be one of the most faithful accounts ever written about growing up through the cruel days of a guerrilla war in Africa. Christopher Hope Daily Telegraph
