Beschreibung
Dieser eindrucksvolle Roman erzählt vom Bürgerkrieg in Nigeria in den Sechzigern und von einer Reihe von Menschen, deren Wege sich kreuzen und deren Leben durch die Wirren dieses Krieges unwiderruflich verändert wird. A wonderful novel about Africa, the end of colonialism, ethnic and tribal allegiances, class and race, and the ways in which love can complicate all these things. Winner of the Orange Broadband Prize for Fiction 2007!
