Beschreibung

<p><b>By the winner of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Literature</b><br><br><b>'There is a wonderful sardonic eloquence to this unnamed narrator's voice' </b><i>Financial Times</i><br><br><b>'I don't think I've ever read a novel that is so convincingly and hauntingly sad about the loss of home' </b><i>Independent on Sunday</i><br><b>_____________________</b><br>He thinks, as he escapes from Zanzibar, that he will probably never return, and yet the dream of studying in England matters above that.<br><br>Things do not happen quite as he imagined - the school where he teaches is cramped and violent, he forgets how it feels to belong. But there is Emma, beautiful, rebellious Emma, who turns away from her white, middle-class roots to offer him love and bear him a child. And in return he spins stories of his home and keeps her a secret from his family. <br><br>Twenty years later, when the barriers at last come down in Zanzibar, he is able and compelled to go back. What he discovers there, in a story potent with truth, will change the entire vision of his life.</p>
