Beschreibung
Das Leben der Geschwister Blessing und Ezikiel verändert sich schlagartig als ihr geliebter Vater die Mutter wegen einer anderen Frau verlässt. Bald müssen sie ihr komfortables Heim in Lagos aufgeben und zu den Großeltern ins ärmliche Niger Delta ziehen, ein Kulturschock, der beide Kinder zunächst schwer trifft. 'Tiny Sunbirds Far Away' shows how some families can survive almost anything. At times hilarious, always poignant, occasionally tragic, it is peopled with characters you will never forget. Winner of the Costa First Novel Award 2011.
