At the turn of the nineteenth century, the Gaza province of
Mozambique is drowning in a torrent of war. Imani, a
fifteen-year-old girl, struggles with her cultural identity as she
is torn between her VaChopi roots and the occupying Portuguese. Her
life becomes further fractured as her family is broken apart amid
the conflict. Germano, a sergeant wrestling with guilt and
grandeur, attempts to subdue one of the last African kingdoms, but
meanwhile falls in love with Imani and loses himself to an
infectious madness. In this vivid and enchanting novel, Mia Couto
masterfully interweaves history with folklore and has managed to
create a work of rare originality and imagination.
