Description
A harrowing intergenerational saga of war and love from a Nobel Prize winner. The latest novel by the Nobel Prize-winning author thematically follows his most successful novel, Paradise. When Ilyas was still a boy, he was stolen from his parents on the shores of East Africa by German colonial soldiers. After years spent away from home, fighting against his own people, he returns home to find that his parents are gone and his sister Afiya is effectively abandoned and enslaved. Hamza also returns from war, scarred both physically and emotionally, and has nothing but the clothes on his back—until he meets the beautiful, fearless Afiya. As these young people live, work, and fall in love, their fates become increasingly intertwined, while the shadow of a new war on another continent threatens to take them away once again.
