A Treacherous Paradise sees Henning Mankell turn his talents for
writing gripping thrillers to a world where power and powerlessness
meet and passion is a dangerous commodity. Hanna Lundmark escapes
the brutal poverty of rural Sweden for a job as a cook onboard a
steamship headed for Australia. Jumping ship at the African port of
Lourenco Marques, Hanna decides to begin her life afresh. Stumbling
across what she believes to be a down-at-heel hotel, Hanna becomes
embroiled in a sequence of events that lead to her inheriting the
most successful brothel in town. Uncomfortable with the attitudes
of the white settlers, Hanna is determined to befriend the
prostitutes working for her, and change life in the town for the
better, but the distrust between blacks and whites, and the shadow
of colonialism, lead to tragedy and murder.
