BY THE WINNER OF THE 2021 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE SHORTLISTED FOR
THE 2021 ORWELL PRIZE FOR POLITICAL FICTION LONGLISTED FOR THE 2021
WALTER SCOTT PRIZE 'Riveting and heartbreaking ... A compelling
novel, one that gathers close all those who were meant to be
forgotten, and refuses their erasure' Maaza Mengiste, Guardian 'A
brilliant and important book for our times, by a wondrous writer'
Philippe Sands, New Statesman, Books of the Year _______________
While he was still a little boy, Ilyas was stolen from his parents
by the German colonial troops. After years away, fighting in a war
against his own people, he returns to his village to find his
parents gone, and his sister Afiya given away. Another young man
returns at the same time. Hamza was not stolen for the war, but
sold into it; he has grown up at the right hand of an officer whose
protection has marked him life. With nothing but the clothes on his
back, he seeks only work and security - and the love of the
beautiful Afiya. As fate knots these young people together, as they
live and work and fall in love, the shadow of a new war on another
continent lengthens and darkens, ready to snatch them up and carry
them away... _______________ 'One of the world's most prominent
postcolonial writers ... He has consistently and with great
compassion penetrated the effects of colonialism in East Africa and
its effects on the lives of uprooted and migrating individuals'
Anders Olsson, chairman of the Nobel Committee 'In book after book,
he guides us through seismic historic moments and devastating
societal ruptures while gently outlining what it is that keeps
those families, friendships and loving spaces intact, if not fully
whole' Maaza Mengiste 'Rarely in a lifetime can you open a book and
find that reading it encapsulates the enchanting qualities of a
love affair ... One scarcely dares breathe while reading it for
fear of breaking the enchantment' The Times
"If at all possible, send or take your household animals into the
country in advance of an emergency. If you cannot place them in the
care of neighbours, it really is kindest to have them destroyed."
Joanna Ryan's father has gone off to war, leaving her in the care
of her step-mother, a woman more concerned with having a good time
than being any sort of parent to her. But then she finds a puppy,
left for dead, and Joanna becomes determined to save him, sharing
her meagre rations with him. But, in a time of war, pets are only
seen as an unnecessary burden and she is forced to hide her new
friend, Harry, from her step-mother and the authorities. With bombs
falling over Bristol and with the prospect of evacuation on the
horizon, can they stay together and keep each other safe? A
gripping, heartwarming historical saga from bestselling author
Lizzie Lane. Praise for Lizzie Lane: 'A gripping saga and a
storyline that will keep you hooked' Rosie Goodwin 'The Tobacco
Girls is another heartwarming tale of love and friendship and a
must-read for all saga fans.' Jean Fullerton 'Lizzie Lane opens the
door to a past of factory girls, redolent with life-affirming
friendship, drama, and choices that are as relevant today as they
were then.' Catrin Collier 'If you want an exciting, authentic
historical saga then look no further than Lizzie Lane.' Fenella J
Miller
