The civil war in Mozambique has ended but still the local soldiers
are being hit by the landmines that litter the ground. When United
Nations peacekeepers begin to suffer too, a high-level delegation
visits the village of Tizangara, to initiate an investigation.
Alongside representatives of central government and UN officials is
an Italian, Massimo Risi, who has been charged with the business of
finding out what happened. Risi?s interpreter has collated
information for posterity based on taped interviews, letters and
witness accounts, documents which form the backbone of this book,
as he narrates it. Global issues are seen from a local African
perspective in this subtle and playful novel, in which Mia Couto
blends oral storytelling techniques with his customary originality
and flair.
