4 Book at Bedtime SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE 1994 'A poetic
and vividly conjured book about Africa and the brooding power of
the unknown' Independent on Sunday 'Lingering and exquisite'
Guardian 'An obliterated world is enthrallingly retrieved' Sunday
Times ____________________________ Born in East Africa, Yusuf has
few qualms about the journey he is to make. It never occurs to him
to ask why he is accompanying Uncle Aziz or why the trip has been
organised so suddenly, and he does not think to ask when he will be
returning. But the truth is that his 'uncle' is a rich and powerful
merchant and Yusuf has been pawned to him to pay his father's
debts. Paradise is a rich tapestry of myth, dreams and Biblical and
Koranic tradition, the story of a young boy's coming of age against
the backdrop of an Africa increasingly corrupted by colonialism and
violence.
