By the winner of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Literature 'There is a
wonderful sardonic eloquence to this unnamed narrator's voice'
Financial Times 'I don't think I've ever read a novel that is so
convincingly and hauntingly sad about the loss of home' Independent
on Sunday _____________________ He thinks, as he escapes from
Zanzibar, that he will probably never return, and yet the dream of
studying in England matters above that. 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. 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.
